The Ides of March Are Behind Us!

Made it out of the harbor today! And we made it back into the harbor at low tide, too! All 14 boats. And, in between, we made it up to Goleta and Back, for our Fleet's longest race (15.31 nm). Beautiful, warm, sunny, shirt sleeve weather. But not enough wind to go around.

How did we do? Perfect start in 14 knots, but the breeze quickly evaporated, as it were. Two key crew members were missing.

That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
