WAH Race I
Last night Joyce expertly helmed Full Tilt during the first of three "Woman at the Helm" races. Conditions ranged from 5-18 knots, but with the wind out of the north it kept the chop down. We started the race with our #2 genny, but switched to the big #1 on the first downwind leg. (Click on any photo to enlarge)
Joyce right after the start. We had a decent start and performed good during the first leg, although the diminishing breeze slowed us down towards the mark.

Joyce steers the boat somewhere on the course, I dunno where.
"Schock Therapy" going wing-on-wing downwind on the 2nd leg.
Post-race, we enjoyed a refreshing beverage. Or in this crew's case, 18 refreshing beverages. Chad, Erich, J.R. and Sarah (her first race!) looking relaxed after the race.
Even though we saw a spectacular sunset, the crew mutinied and demanded to be taken ashore when it was found out that we'd run out of beer.There were maybe 6 boats in the race, and I don't think we placed very highly. When the results come in I'll post them here, but overall it was a fun race. Joyce did great, and the RC of Larry Welch and Dennis Dawid did an excellent job.
