On Saturday, at the end of October, we had a beautiful day on Mill Creek just west of Fort Monroe. This was the first time we sailed at this particular venue. The regatta was the VISA JV championships and 18 teams were entered. The crews had to be ferried out to a floating dock where the boats are stored. The day started a bit chilly but warmed to around 70 degrees. The breeze was about 8-10 knots all day.
We had the best showing all year: we finished 5th of 18 teams, with Jake taking our first bullet of the season. The final scores are here.
The shot below shows Jake and Charlie with a hefty lead approaching the finish line. It certainly helped that the boat in second just behind them at the final weather mark death rolled and created a lot of havoc for the rest of the fleet to avoid!
Below are a couple of additional shots. Thanks to Mrs Schoenig and Mrs Kiggans for the pictures!
