RACE #2

The Constellation Cup is a fundraiser for the ships in Baltimore's Inner Harbor, namely the USS Constellation. I've done it the past 3 years on my buddy's boat and it has blown like stink each year.
This year was different.  Forecast was for 5 kts all week but Saturday morning dawned bright and sunny and a FX of 10-15!  We had a couple that Carol knew through work on board that were not sailors, Thad again, and a ringer in the person of Rob who I knew from racing on Widowmaker as well as him being a previous Wharf Rat crew.  We did fairly well finishing 6th out of 16 in the Fin Keel Class.  The best part was crossing tacks w/ my pals on Caribbean Magic (a C/C 44) and actually keeping up w/ them!  Of course we tied up on the dock next to the Constellation for the post race party.
