The finish line! We got in about 12:30am on Saturday morning, squeaking in ahead of at least on boat in our class. Sorry for the poor quality, camera operation was a tall order given my mental state at this point. - IMG_2256

As the wind dies late in the morning on the second day, we bust out the "whisker pole," a pole to hold out the jib (sail at the front of the boat) perpendicular to the boat and allow us to sail with the light wind at our backs. - IMG_2236

Sunrise on day 2. Notice the surface of the water: we have wind! At about 9pm the night before the wind slowly picked up and we had a good 6-7 hours at near-top-speed for the boat (7 knots, which is a bit more than 7 mph). - IMG_0208
