Surprise, surprise! We ended up on the podium at 3rd place (out of the 6 boats that ended up racing). Not so bad considering where we could have been. It was a tough (slow) race to say the least, we made a few mistakes (skipper included) on board but it also felt like the wind gods were playing tricks on us. The wind was so light that during the first part of the race, boats had different wind depending on where they were on the course. Congrats to the crew (Rita, Pete, Monica, Gregg, Rich) for sticking it out and keeping engaged for the entire time. Sometimes when it gets that slow and you end up in the gutter early, it’s hard to stay in race mode….but we did. We made some ground during the second half of the race and came across the line in a heap with Go Dog Go and Down Town as we tried for line honors. We corrected at third so we’ll get a trophy for our efforts! I promise not to run out of bear this time! After the results were read, a few dirty shanties with the band…..and well, after the keg ran out, we headed for Evelyn’s Tavern and enjoyed a few more refreshments with the Tango crew and the Band from the yacht club!
