Fidelis Races For The First Time


Well, after some persuasion from "Aussie Jim" (Owner of "This Boat")we took Fidelis out on her first regatta with the Oriental Dinghy Club. John, from "Morning Star" helped crew and we had a great time. We started very well, crossing the start line within 5 seconds of the start horn, and ran the first leg with a lead on most everyone, but soon after rounding the first mark, we made a decision to stay a straight course for the second mark and ended up with no wind, where other boats had tacked into good spots of wind. Don't know how we placed but we'll let you know as soon as we find out. Thanks to Jim and John both for the awsome hand crewing the boat. I learned alot and had a great time. Look forward to the next race.
