C22 Whitby Open Regatta

First weekend regatta at Whitby with two races counting for overall.

Got my friend Rick from the club to crew with me.  Powerboater Rick used to sail lots of dinghies and actively raced an Oddessy 30 for years.  He crewed with me last year, and enjoyed sailing with him.

Winds were forecast for light from the southwest 4-6 knots all day.  Full main and #1 genoa.

Race 1

We won the first race on corrected time.

Race 2

We were second in this race, 8 seconds behind the T-Bird. 
If only we didn't go over the line early at the start!

Race 3

The goal was to get three races in today; we finished the 3rd race at 13:50.
The race committee decided to get a fourth race in.

Rick said that his bowels would not allow him to do the last race.
Since Still Time does not have a working head, we dropped the head sail, and I sailed up beside Tanker Jones, and Rick jumped off to do his business.  He scared the CRAP out of Shelly on the committee boat!

Race 4

The wind died after the start of the 4th race, so it was pretty slow going.

We had a great BBQ in the clubhouse afterwards.

We scored a first and three seconds in the regatta.

We ended up tied with the T-Bird, but took 2nd place because  he had two firsts.
Cheeky Monkey came in third for the regatta.

Good day for Still Time!
