So this past Wednesday was the last of the Wednesday Night Races at Pirate's Cove. It all switches to Sunday afternoons now for the fall series. And even though I'll race some Sundays--they will be sporadic at best as there is just so much that happens on the weekends. Of course this means that summer's officially over & there's just no getting around it. There are a few weekend races coming up & the boat show next weekend so I will still get my sailing fix through October but after that I guess it will be time to hang up my foulies for the season (just can't wrap my head, or the rest of me for that matter, around doing frostbite). So what will I do with myself over the winter? Reading the Racing Rules of Sailing, finally going back to taekwondo (I've been soooo bad about that), waiting anxiously for the new Spin Sheet & Sailing World every month, & probably having long convos about our favorite obsession with Xing Fu. Perhaps even a Raven's Game, live music....I'll fill the time but part of me will be out on the bay somewhere--sigh.
I am looking forward to the boat show--this year I'll be hanging with my boat & enjoying their company--it has been great being part of this crew & I know the boat show will be equally as fun. I also look forward to seeing my cousins as well--they are exhibitors so it will be great to spend time with them too. Last year my cousin & I really loved walking around with our Pusser's rum drinks--maybe a repeat??? I also need to get a few things--I want to get better knee pads (the J-30 just rips up my knees), possibly some foulie pants (I have bibs but would like the ease of pants), & some boots for colder weather sailing instead of my Keens. Of course I enjoy looking at all of the boats--even the Benehuntalinas. Just a great way to end a very full summer of sailing. Perhaps this will be one of my last posts about sailing for the season---oh, who am I fooling??
