Vacation from Sailing?

My First Sailboat Race
So I have had my San Juan 21 “Limpet” for a couple of winter months and had only sailed it once. With the cherry blossoms on the trees and the promise of summer in the air I have been jonesing to venture back to the water. So with more optimism than sense I rounded up some crew and headed for the first sailboat race of my life. I caught up with San Juan 21 Fleet 1 on Elliot bay for a day of fun framed by the Seattle skyline. My stout hearted crew with questionable decision making abilities was my good friend Ken. (Quick story on Ken… He is married to a great gal named Heidi and around my house we often refer to “Ken and Heidi.” My son, who has not picked up on the finer point of conjunctions, has taken to calling him “Kenand.”) Together Ken and I set forth some objectives for the adventure.
- No falling off the Boat
- No getting clocked by the boom
- No demonic possessions
Other than that we figured anything else must qualify as a success.
