TR: Round the County 11-9,10-02

[Alex]

nice thing about sailing: when it sucks in the mountains, its good on the water!

 

Round the County race - a 2 day race around San Juan County. On Sat you leave Westsound on Orcas and sail down around Lopez and San Juan to Roche Harbor. A rockin good time at Roche, then the next morning from Roche up around San Juan, top of Orcas, Waldron, and back to Westsound.

 

Sat, blustery conditions (20kts) to weather to a long beam reach along the south end of the islands.

 

Sun, full conditions (25-30 knots) tight reach to close hauled all the way back 35 miles to the finish line.

 

First Sight goes to weather, day 1.

 

Nice rockin' beam reach under spin along the South end of San Juan island to the finish line.

sounds awesome anyway. nothing like "high" wind sailing to get your heart beating.

 

let me know if you ever need crew!!!
