First race of the season and we didn't do too well - must have been the unreliable wind, couldn't have been the captain or crew!
Maybe we should change the name of the boat from Blazing Matilda to Not-so-Blazing Matilda. Perhaps we should officially christen her, although the on-board party would be considerably smaller than on Dirty Girl.

Why am I always hauling in the sheets and jumping from one side of the boat to the other?
At least I remembered to wear my gloves whichmade tacking easier and being ballast is something
I'm used to.
July in Wildwood
Once again didn't place in the Rum Runner race in July and missed the Wildwood Cup all together - went camping, what's that all about? Of course after a sweltering July (I spent more time than usual with the A/C) the one weekend we choose to sleep outside it's freezing and rainy. Sailing season has finally started.
