Summer series offshore has begun! First race kick off, official opening day is a couple weeks away. My regular ride is still out of the water getting converted to twin rudders so went out for a ride on another boat (I know, I’m a boat slut), a new Northshore 36.9. Was good fun, was allowed off the bow and I tend to be a tinkerer, being a new boat had all the bells and whistles so I was tinkering heaven.
Had a nice start, I thought we were out of it but ended up in clear air off the pin and on the right side of things, made the right moves to the top mark and got two trailer park girls for equal second with a Farr40 in first. Then had a 10nm drift, only 3 boats made it around and when the Farr52 withdraw the RC canned the race, so a bit of a non-event.
Got some snap shots though…
