Heat Wave

Well, my body is still recovering from the shock of floating around in 90 degree weather for over three hours. Today, the weather fooled us. It lured us in with it's soaring temps and cloudless sky, just to watch us drift in just the slightest of winds. At time we considered it sailing, but mostly we were drifting... Some faster than others.

We haven't seen Chris a whole lot on the water this year, but he made it out today and laid down two solid first place finishes before the wind totally gave up. Victor pulled off two second place finishes, which is pretty great considering he was in 4th on the second race after rounding the second mark. He passed me up when my boat decided to drift backwards (obviously through no fault of my own) and also managed to stay in enough wind to pass up Troy. Speaking of the second race, I'm not sure how I managed to catch up to Troy, who was a mere feet from crossing when the wind died, but for me it was the most subduedly exciting, slowest pass for a third place finish I've ever had.

After the torture of that race, we waited for a bit more wind that never came around. We decided to pack it in and try to get re-hydrated.

 We were lucky to have Caleb as our makeshift tugboat. He actually saved us a lot of time in the light wind, helping us group up so we could swap boats.

 Victor is chllaxin', waiting for the wind.

 

 Troy and Victor are probably exchanging notes on where think the next breeze is gonna come from.

 Nap Time?

 Evidence of the lack of wind.

Getting towed back to the marina.
