Slow going and S20 Towing!

Tuesday, August 24, 2010

Another Beer Can Tuesday with Zach.  We stopped by his house for a quick bite of dinner and said Hi to Krista, then down to the lake.  The wind was fairly light so up with the genoa tonight.  No pictures though - I forgot the camera.   

Lots of boats out tonight.  As usual the race started a few minutes late.  That worked out good for us though, as we got a great start and got to make a laser on port tack give way right at the buoy!  We crossed the line 2nd behind a speedy little thistle and managed to hold off the competition most of the way to Leakin' Lena.  The S20 (Spy) behind us eventually became the S20 in front of us.  We made the turn downwind on a broad reach then winged out the jib - at which point the wind totally died.  At the 30 minute horn we were only about 2/3 to the first bouy after Lena!

After a bit folks started motoring in - so we did too.  One of the S20's near us mooched a tow and as we caught up with Spy, he wanted a tow too.  He threw a line to the other boat and we pulled them both across the lake to EYC.  

Followed Dean in Stairway back to the dock and visited a bit.  He headed back out for a night on the anchor, we splattered bugs all over the car on the way home.
