As of yesterday we are the proud owners of a boat slip for our J/22. It’s a great location and we’re very happy that the pieces are falling into place. All that’s left to get her in the water is a good used hydrohoist.

The boat works continue. David did a great job repairing the seahood. We start installing deck hardware this weekend. Everyone at the club will be racing in the first frostbite race but we have lots of work to do to get ready for the Midwinters which is just 6 weeks away at Rush Creek Yacht Club. I’m exercising and trying to get into better condition. I’m determined to not be a weak link on our team. Racing is so much fun because the preparation and anticipation are exciting in and of itself. I’m trying to set realistic expectations since we are so new to the boat, I’m so new to sailing and we will be sailing with the best in the country. If we come in somewhere near the lower middle of the fleet I will be very happy. David is very realistic as well and is a very patient man. He’s been very good to me as a green crew member. He’s got lots of knowledge and if I listen and not get my panties in a wad, we do OK. Tell me that’s not hard girls! We’re having fun; hope you are also in your sailing adventures.
