We are on the road to Bay Waveland Yacht Club for the 2015
NACs. I expect Ben and I will get our a**es handed to us, considering the
field, which includes not only numerous past champions, but also two former
Olympians!
Anyway, we are looking forward to seeing our pals and
rooming with various fellow sailors, including the Midwest District’s own Ryan
Malmgren, who is a few hours ahead of us on the road. We are towing our boat
without a mast, which makes parking it a little easier, but is really a
pathetic sight. Happily we’ll be getting another one later today, and Sophie
will be reconstituted.
This week also will mark the drawing of the winning raffle
ticket for the Flying Scot. Ben and I have a ticket, but I’m more excited at
the prospect of our fleet member, Chris Tesdal, winning. The Clinton Lake
Flying Scot fleet gave him a ticket as a wedding gift … Of course, if he
doesn’t win, it wasn’t much of a gift!!!
I’m looking forward to giving the women’s championship a
try. My crew will be Kim Thinel (Florida
District) and Diane Kampf (New England District). Aren’t they good sports?! I’m
also really looking forward to some really good seafood/Cajun meals, which I
will report on as time allows.
