at our favorite spot, Seaside Park Yacht Club. Went racing with John Haas in his Sandpiper. Sailed three races in front of the club in a dry nor’easter. 12 to 15 knots, gusting to 18 or so. We had our moments of good boat speed but finished at the end of the three boat fleet in each race. Good sailing in any event.
Pics from today and yesterday follow:
A stern chase is a long chase. Good view of our competitors.
Skipper John Haas and crew June.

Raven on her way to the afternoon races yesterday.
Friend Kent, striking a Captain Morgan pose. Nice sail yesterday but with a challenging Northerly; up and down, backing and veering with no clear pattern.

Photo taken by photographer MaryAnn Westlund on Saturday. She was standing on the dock and took the photo while I was getting ready to lower the sails and put Sjogin in her slip. Here’s a link to MaryAnns’s web page.
