Mind Games
We managed to get the boat measured and put together and I think things are on track. The boaats are slowly filtering into the club, and I think that registrations are up to 53 boats.
Yesterday was a pretty good time. We didn’t really do that much. Paul and Hal had the boat put together, waxed and tefloned and mostly put together, when I got here. We put the boom on and rigged up the tactic and generally got things straightened away.
We had lunch and dinner at the Oven’s Room, gosh I thinking this is going to be an expensive week, with so little food planned.
I hung out with the Shark Poop guys for most of the night. This was fun, mental games. Poop were the World Champions last year, and so they are defending their title. The mental games are hillarious around here. Everyone is having fun, but trying to pysch out the competitors, it’s all in good fun, but I’m not used to this level of competition.
We have the practice race this afternoon, and we are hoping to get in an hours practice before the race. We still have to work out the tweaker system, I have to get used to having most of the lines lead to the mast. It is a way more logical rig, but it will still take some modifications to our crew work.
