Oriental Cup Regatta

Well, if all goes the way they've got it planned, Both Jimmy (This Boat) and John and Mary (Morning Star) will be leaving early next week. Jimmy is heading for Bermuda, with the ultimate intentions of sailing his Rival 1/2 way around the world to Australia and John and Mary are headed North to the Chesepeake Bay area to start their journeys afloat. With that being said, this was probably our last race together, and it just so happened to be the year's big one. We placed 7th out of 12 boats in our class, and we had a great time. There were almost 40 boats on the water for this one. We also had a new hand on deck (Breck) that may be stepping in for future races, who did a great job "picking up the ropes" so to speak. With all that being said, we will certainly miss John, Mary, and Jim and wish them the best. Fair winds y'all, and keep in touch.
