Our sailing club runs a "mixed couples" fun race every year where you can have one man and one woman crew. It allows for cruisers to mingle with racers and all have a good time. This year was no exception. It was a nice spinnaker run all the way up the 10 mile course. After which everyone rafted to Sequoia (15 boats on our anchor!) for race results and cocktails, then broke up into smaller rafts for the evening or some of the participants went home. Lots of fun, and one of the other racers actually got some Sequoia spinnaker shots... Other photo is of the "super raft".
Next planned activity is the Wednesday "Jack-Ass" race where we all motor around and the best theme/costumes or
sailing show of skill. We placed 3rd last year with a full compliment of pirates and rum, 1st place won by sailing backwards down the course with their spinnaker full behind the boat. We have something special planned this year to compliment the pirate theme, let's just hope it works!Then a week or so after that, we'll be headed off to be spectators for the J-29 North American Championships in Oxford, MD where we'll cheer on our friends on Rhumb Punch and any other club members who participate.
