I picked up my new boat and headed to Westport Conn. to sail in the Sunday racing at Cedar Point Yacht Club. Not only was the fleet big, the competition was solid and the wind was up. I sailed the course like a scalded cat thinking, "one day there will be a scratch on this boat, but not today, dammit!!" There were a couple of windward mark roundings I took very carefully. (I did play a bit of bumper cars on a start where I tried to fit into too little a space. Sorry about that.)
It was fun, but more importantly, I wanted to mention the post mortem after the race. We gathered around a mountain of pizza boxes and the top two guys had to tell us what they saw and how they won. I was so impressed with the attitude and the generosity of the fleet that I left my boat down there so I could come back in November as race some more after we are done with frostbites here in Toronto. It's an 8 hour drive, but I can't think of a better way to spend that time than to race a great fleet.
That's it. Just wanted to express my enthusasiam for Cedar Point. Well done guys. We see you soon.
