Back to the Lake

Zoe finally got back out on the water after patiently waiting through the winter. She saw some beautiful Seattle weather last Sunday, lots of rain and little wind, but plenty of perfectly bbq'ed hot dogs. Racing was tight between Puffy, back and forth the whole shifty race, but Zoe scooted out for the finish. Thanks to Will, Jess, Nichole and Kathrine for not letting Washington's winter keep this boat without a hearty crew.

Rum Run!

This years Rum Run was a blast, we lucked out on some great weather (only rained a foot or two), had awesome wind and did pretty well thanks to some salty sea dogs seen below. That old spin halyard finally went during a big puff, time to start replacing all the halyards I guess. Looking forward to Le Mans!

Down to Old Vashon Island


We scooted down wind averaging around 6kts from Shilshole to Vashon Island in the beautiful fresh Northerly. (Really need to get the Asym up and running and it would be more like 8kts!)



We spent the night at Dockton Park, a very small, quite yet very modern marina. For anyone thinking of spending a night here the docks are all free from 8am to 8pm, then there is very good anchorage for the night (some exposure to the North).



The next day was a grind beating all the way up to home in 7 hours in 10 - 25kts of sunny breeze.



Finally home where we got to enjoy the sunset over some brats from the new and improved BBQ. A great trip overall thanks to some last summer rays and my grandparents Liz and Carl who graciously drove us around Vashon and kept us fed.

Zoe's new Asym

Just picked up a J-80 Asymetrical sail for Zoe. Jim let me try it out on Valkerie and Tim took some sick footage...
