Poco Loco (loco)
I said screw it. Yeah my foot doesn’t work worth a damn but I want to sail. The crew is undermanned so if I don’t go they can’t sail either. So I went and we just went cruising instead of racing.
The weather was fantastic and even with our smallest jib up (the #3) we were cranking away. Our goal was to make it to the starting mark to see the start. We actually made it with about a minute or two to spare even though we left an hour later than everyone! It’s a good thing we didn’t try to race, I think I would have really screw up my foot. We followed the racers along the race until they came to the upwind leg, at this point we decide ” nah, lets jut head out and enjoy the day”. So we turned the helm downwind and SURFED with just the #3 up! Amazing sailing.
Going to the podiatrist on Monday, sigh…
