Almost a three-day regatta – over 15 inches of rain on day three of regatta. Most ever in the recorded history of St-Tropez. Crew was lead by Dennis and Harry from Holland joined by Wendell, Brad, Mike, Paula, Paul, Ken and Matt. Placed 87th out of 127th. All 120 plus IRC rated boats started at the same time with a start line that accommodated thirty boats. Do you know the boat, “right of way rules?”
The crew of Jason, Brendt, Paula, Matt, Jack, and Ken left Horta in a nice breeze heading north, day four saw the forestay let loose, foresail a-flapping, but mast still standing. Quick use of the spin halyards to hold up the mast, plus some cagey sail rigging by Matt and Jack, and the Grateful Red wove through the boats in the Straits of Dover to Ijmuiden, Netherlands.
This was our Lake Michigan Circumnavigation 2008. We traveled from Menominee to Mackinac Island with Bob Conner, Fred Sheils and then our Sister Bay crew included Ken Johnson, Kristine Fauerbach, Bob Conner, Paula Sheils and Fred Sheils.
See you on the Water
