Well, the season is definitely winding down. Zach, Gabe from work, and I drove down after work with the idea that we'd try out the gennaker again. ha!
Got to the lake and there was barely any wind. We decided to go out anyway and I'm glad we did. We ever so slowly oozed out of the harbor and paralleled the dam. Gabe's an experienced sailor and managed the genoa & leads with no direction from me. He and Zach have had classes together and seem to share interests so there was conversation about a lot of different things while we waited for a breeze.
Eventually, around 7 or so, the wind finally started to come up. By then we were on the other side of the lake. The Beer Can crew apparently decided to start racing late as we crossed their bows just after they started.
Put back in to the slip around 8:00 and packed things up. Zach and I will go down on Saturday to pull the boat for the season. Bummer.
