Katydid



Appropriately, Katydids belong a group called the singing insects. Somehow it read Lauren's sign and then came by to enjoy the sing-a-long concert by the Deck Rats. There are more than 300 different kinds of Katydids. I'm guessing our visitor was an Angle-winged.

Captain Emma

In the absence of my regular crew, Emma sailed with me in last Tuesday's Harbor Sailboats races. But I pulled a swicheroo on her — I asked her if she wanted to steer, and to my surprise she said yes. So it was all up to her (albeit with a little advice along the way), and the result: Second-place finishes in two of four races, and tied for second overall. She left some veterans wondering: Who is that girl?

The Maris Stella Yacht Club and Crossword Society was busy.  Not very neat, but complete.

Getting Ready

Just ate lunch at "Jersey Mike's" in Solana Beach CA. I had a "Jersey Shore's Favorite" sub (provolone, ham, and cappacuolo) — not a White's, but it whets the appetite. On the sailing front (as Ross may already have told you), we west-coast sailors took first overall in the Harbor Sailboats summer regatta. It's almost time to see how we stack up against east-coast sailors....
