This year’s sailing season of 3793 nautical miles included a trip to Hawaii (about 2300 miles) and one trip to Ensenada (over 400 miles), a trip to Santa Barbara for the Santa Barbara City Race and Tequila Derby. Other various races included 15 to 20 mile courses and many races under 10 miles. We sailed about 45 races this year. Second Chance dominated our time in the first half of the year. Other boats raced included Maine Squeeze, Fusee and Out Patient. I also sailed a race with Tom on Quiet Time. Another busy racing schedule awaits us, and possibly some new boats.
Looking ahead, Mary and I will be cruising to Mexico and beyond, but first we need a boat. The plan is to start looking seriously after Megan graduates (this May).
