Fierce Competition

There were 16 Sunfish out racing today including real pros. Of course they ended up getting the first few winning places, but Dave came in a very admirable 5th. He was also very consistent earning 5th place in all three races of the series. Go USA 4846, his favorite boat!

The wind was higher than predicted and it got pretty wild out on the course with Abaco Dinghies, Sunfish, Optis and 420 one design boats all racing at the same time. The 420s started with the Sunfish making it even more challenging.

The windward mark roundings were quite exciting. That's Dave on the far left...

Talk about close!

I was out in our skiff Safari watching with my friend Valerie...until the wakes and chop forced us back into the harbor before vertigo set in (that's us in the background with a 420 and Sunfish racing).
