Sailboat Race


Friday my dad and I left home for Olympia with plans to race his sailboat.  Yesterday we got up fairly early, ate a good breakfast and headed for the marina! Now, this was his first race this season, and my first race in a few years.  While things weren't always going as planned (i.e. sails/lines getting hung up) we had a good time and looked at it as a learning experience for next time.  The one thing that was on our side (according to Dad anyways) was that we had good winds.  In MY opinion, I would rather have light winds and no heeling over, which means I have an opportunity to get my camera out instead of bracing myself so as not to feel like I'm going over board.  ;-)  The handful of pictures I took were in the 10-15 minutes after we were done, had the sails down and were motoring back into the marina.
