Watching the fleet go by on a lazy Thursday Night.
It truly feels that summer is here. After a dreary winter we're finally into the sunny season and loving it. With the FCYC Spring Thursday Night Series well under way we have been getting out and enjoying life on the water.
Reaching to the windward mark.
The WEASEL may not be taking the championship for this series but we're having fun and that's all that counts. The first race had perfect wind and without a few serious blunders we could have placed well. The second race was particularly frustrating when the race was started with little wind and us out of position above the line; but it was sunny, warm and we drifted around the course leisurely finishing last and celebrating with some 40oz home brew Thomas brought.

With the prospect of a summer filled with Thursday night racing, great cruising, and some VARC events I am sure this will be one of the best sailing seasons yet for the WEASEL. We have the now infamous Silva Bay Layover ahead which is promising to be a total gong show with a crew of six highly questionable individuals on board. I have promised myself that I will remain out of the water for this whole event.

Following the Silva Bay Layover the WEASEL is going to try and get some serious cruising time in. A crab pot will have to be acquired following the debacle of the last summer's Guy Cruise which saw it committed to the deep never to be recovered. I will post cruising details and will be looking for people to join us so let me know if you want to tag along.
