The 'Honeymoon' Race




Every so often we are blessed with a day that exceeds our expectations and Sunday was one of those days. The sun was shining, the winds were with us and the bridge tenders were timely. This last fact is such a rare thing that we took it for the good omen it turned out to be. On board we had the new, radiant Mrs. Sherry McCampbell and her daughter Nicki.

Our start prep began with the bride tossing her wedding bouquet to the race committee. Definitely a unique moment! There was a special synergy among us and our crew work was great. We had many 'Woo Hoo' moments and managed to cross the finish line first in both races. Woo Hoo!

We must be fair and acknowledge that most of our competitors were missing core crew but, hey, you take the wins you get and they sure do feel good.

We have one more race with Mrs. McCampbell before we get kicked out of the nest and fly on our own. Our plan is to carry on the tradition of learning all we can to sail the best we can because ...... we CAN do anything!
