June was pretty quiet. A couple weeks with no wind, at all. We're really learning a lot about Dark Island - turns out, it's true, DI is not a light wind boat... we had to gracefully bow out of a race one night... it was just too much. Instead, we headed in and had some drinks and food...which ended up being a lot more fun than 0.0 knots to the finish. There was a week with bad weather where Judy sailed on Tempest and I sailed on Planxty... it was fun - spinnaker sailing for a change!
We did the lady skipper in early July - which was also a sloooooooow race. Look at the pics - see how smooth the water looks?! We had a postponement waiting for the wind that never came... well then a little came and we were able to finish. So that's June/Early July in a nutshell. "No, this is me in a nutshell... let me out, let me out!" Austin Powers for those who didn't get that reference...
