Summer Fun

So we've spent the summer sailing in Howe Sound and English Bay. 
Here's a few highlights

I think we were first to cross the line at the start of the VRC Ken & Barbie race in English Bay
When Raven struggled at the QC buoy rounding, we had to luff and back-winded the genny. With light winds, we had no option but to bail to keep going.  We came in 4th but lost 3 or 4 positions.

Avoiding "Ed" 
Finished 11th and corrected to 14th of  20

Off to a good start in the 2012 'Round Bowen Race
 but got stuck in the mud twice and ended with a DNF within 3 boat lengths of the line.
