This weekend I competed in the Round the County race on Kiwi Express a Farr 1020. Not a bad weekend, Sunday was amazing it was a beam reach on port tack for about 30 something miles. The wind varied but was typically around 12 knots. The last half mile was crazy with bursts of gusts coming from all directions. The plan is to sail Blizzard on this race next year. The San Juan islands are an amazing place and I have never sailed them in November. The current was pretty strong heading East past the north point on
Patos Island. Then past Clark Island where my childhood memories stem. It looks the same with the rocks to the south and the little protective cove on the east side. I'm looking forward to next summer when I can take Jilann and Emily to this paradise.
I've ordered some rigging and the shrouds will soon be replaced. Blizzard is tucked in safely in the driveway of our new house and I'm rebuilding my shop. The last couple of years have been great.
