We discovered a few more minor issues during the Governor's Cup- Batteries being prime among them... If you go back to the archives from January, I did some battery maintenance. Turns out it just prolonged the inevitable... The house bank bit the dust on the gov cup. So, a few "small boat units" later, the house bank is now 2 gel group 27's. When we do the new high output alternator, there will probably be a 3rd added, but this is good for now.
The other issue we had was the loss of our tack line on the spinnaker- it just blew up in the 25 kts of breeze. So I replaced that this week with 7/16ths Sta-set X. This is the same stuff they're using on 45 Ft cruisers for halyards, so I figure it will hold up.
Another of the fun races we do is this weekend-- the local club has a "mixed couples" race up the Patuxant River open to cruisers and racers alike. Should be a good time: lots of beer and rum and a few grills running.
Upcoming events include Annapolis Race Week on the 36.7
