The March Lions & Lambs

The racing season has begun here in San Diego. That is, for me it has begun. For Dave it kinda never stops. Anyway, the first races of 2006 out of the Harbor Sailboats Club took place on Sunday, February 26. At race time, 1:00, there was absolutely no wind. We had to keep turning on our engines to stay close to the starting area. The first race start was postponed until the wind came up a little which was at about 1:30. We had a good group of 12 boats with a few newcomers who haven't had much race experience. Dave teamed up with friend Traci and another woman whose name I forget. Kyle and I raced in another boat. D, T & ? sailed well and had two first place finishes but one stinky race out of the five races on the afternoon. They took third on the day. K & I were very middle of the pack and took fifth overall. This Sunday we all race again. We have a big storm coming at us and so Sunday's races may get very interesting. We will see who are the lions and who are the lambs. One thing is for sure, it is going to be a foul weather gear day. I'm psyched. I love bad weather.
