Sailboat racing on the Chez-peak update.
Saturday's Georgetowns Mid-distance Race turned out to be a blast.

We were dead last rounding the first mark of a 6 leg race.
We were fouled at the mark and got stuck in the 'irons'
Lead boat was 3/4 of a mile ahead of us.
We were bummed and thought we lost.
The skipper said "let's not worry we're gonna win this race"
We composed ourselves & concentrated.
It paid off handsomely.
By the 5th leg we caught the lead boat
They miscalculated the tide change bigtime while we identified it.
We scored a bullet 3 1/2 mins ahead of the 2nd place boat!

What a great Saturday on the water.

Never Quit.
