Got the sailing season off to a great start on Saturday with the Opening Day Regatta at Fishing Bay Yacht Club sailing aboard the C&C37 Wavelength.  We did one 12.5 mile race out around the channel buoys to the entrance of the Rappahannock River and back.  We did some great sailing which included a spinnaker peel and managed to finish 2nd in some very close racing – only 36 seconds separated the top 4 boats on corrected time.  Results and Pictures.

With all the driving I do for sailing and ECU football I’ve really wanted a new car with a little more space and better mileage than the focus was getting.  I knew a 2012 Diesel VW Jetta SportWagen with a manual transmission and a sunroof was the perfect car.  After a big of digging I found one in Charlottesville.  I’m really looking forward to being able to cartop the Laser to some distant regattas in Massachusetts and Long Island this spring and avoid the tolls.
