The Leukemia Cup Regatta

This week the bicycle rides took a back seat to my chance to crew on a boat in the regatta. I did do the usual TEBR, (Tuesday evening bike ride) with my club, and even got a few miles in Saturday evening after a full day on the water.



The regatta was great and raised a lot of money for the Leukemia Society, we had a great time with every sailing condition from perfect winds for our boat to high winds and rain. The Erickson 28+ did a great job and we finished in the middle of our fleet of about a dozen boats, we raced hard against a Cal 28 and a Benateau 311. Our goal was never to win but to have a good time and get in 2 full days of sailing. We did that with a total of 6 races with conditions calling for full main and jib all the way down to a small jib and a double reefed main. We had 6 good starts and two good finishes, I got very few pictures due to the rain, and when good action shots happened I was to busy to do anything else.
