Regatta

Karl and I are crewing on Serenity, Leif and Hanne's sailboat, for the weekly sailing club regatta. The purpose of the regattas are to get people out on their boats and have some fun. But we've also learned that, while very good-natured, there is quite a bit of competitiveness. We did quite well the first week, taking 1st, and were in the lead for most of the race during the 2nd week, but then we sailed out of the wind and the rest of the fleet caught up. The finish was really tight with boats mere inches away from each other. The regattas will continue through the end of September, finishing up just before the snow begins to fall.
