The race was GREAT!!! It was soooo nice to see everyone again and to be out on the water. I was a bit nervous Friday when Robi and I did a practice go to get back into the groove of things. Due to experienced skippers- Robi, THE CHUCK, and Pete, I had never flipped. Robi knew that I was a bit uneasy about flipping so he intentionally flipped the boat and it wasn't all that bad. I'm glad we did practice cuz the next couple of days we ended up flipping over and it wasn't so scary. I remember Robi yelling "DON'T LAND ON THE MAIN SAIL!" I actually ended up landing on it close to the boom, but thankfully there were no damages. Saturday was so incredibly cold; Robi and I came in shivering. While around the nice warm camp fire, Stephen said I could borrow on of his wet suits. He was my hero and on Sunday I was good to go with sailing. Everyone was doing great and sailing fast. Overall it was such a great time. Familiar faces are always wonderful to see again and it's great to meet new exciting people. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
