My how time flies..

So.. in the time that has lapsed since my last blog, FWYC has held two races.

First was the Portsmouth held on the 17th. Frosty Nipple #5 was held under slightly sporty conditions. Four boats total - our favorite Vanguard 15, 2 420's, and a really fast sunfish came out to brave the conditions that ranged between 15 and 19 knots. We had a GREAT race committee with the Yeagers and Dave Eames supplying his boat. Thanks to you all for helping - I was on a 420 with Alex Johnson and we had a killer time. I may not be speaking for myself so much as everybody on the race course, but I was sore the next day. That storm blew through and a shuttle-sighting party ensued on the point. As a sidenote to this, Jeff Brown is FAST on a Sunfish - Sunfish Midwinters is in Panama City in three weeks, somebody get him to go!!!

Now for the real fun - we had a great PHRF race on Sunday, with Zevins #3. Everybody had a good time on the racecourse, it was a beautiful day. Lightning Rod nosed out Jibe Talkin for the win, congratulations guys. You can check out his pursuits and endeavors on www.lightningrodracing.com - good luck Dave. Barbara Harrington and the Grants made really cool awards - shadowboxes with protest flags and pictures (in honor of Sandy). The most amazing part of my day was looking right behind Jibe Talkin and seeing Cantankerous right behind us.. we were just waiting for Sandy to holler at us at that point. A great Mongolian BBQ hosted by Tom Garner followed, and we all had a great time.

Up next for the racing circuit is the final Frosty Nipple on Sunday, and in the interim.. the J22 midwinter campaign starts. We've already had some Texas jokes flying around e-mails, so if the boat weighs in, you all will get to follow the J22 to Rush Creek Texas for midwinter madness.

All in all, FWYC is having a good time - hope you all are having the same.
