2008 Puget Sound Spring Regatta (PSSR)

Off to Seattle once again for PSSR, a great race to kick the season off with some tight racing and a decent fleet. We went into a nine boat fleet as scratch boat, something that happens a lot to us, and looked like some decent racing. We had our good friend Nate and the olsen 25, two moore 24s, a holder 20, a U20, and a martin 242 (along with some others). I was excited to see how the boat did with the newly sanded bottom and keel. Too bad the conditions had other ideas....


Joe decided to burn some of our down time with his renditions of popular George Michael hits.

The wind filled in for two races on saturday and since we had the H1 on deck, we all decided that no one wanted to get the L1, so we raced with the heavy sail. Due to our laziness, we placed 6th and 4th......not some of our finer work.

After Joe signaled to our competitors via sign language, that we were out of beer, I decided to engauge in a pre game ritual that had gone by the wayside on Saturday....easy cheese...

Ahhhh...much better - With easy cheese pumping through our veins and the L1 up, we managed to sail a very solid second day nailing all the shifts and pulling off a 3rd and 1st place finish, moving us from 6th on sat to 3rd overall for the weekend...I'll take it!
