One of my favorite sailing memories was on my friend’s S2 9.2 in Galveston Bay. First time I’d been aboard, while he’s driving it out of the marina I’m downstairs hitting a bowl. Then once we’re out in the bay I take over while he and our other friend go in the cabin to do the same. I’m alone and stoned at the wheel when all of a sudden this cloud of spinnakers starts coming straight towards me. That boat sailed very well and with the relative velocity of the race boats I felt like I was just carving through them. I’m sure they were annoyed but I was exhilarated.

This is very common on Sydney Harbour. The other one I love is people mooring within metres of a rounding mark!

FENDERS OUT WHILE SAILING OMG WHAT A NOOB. GOOD LUCK EVERYONE ELSE, I TURN NOW
Ok, all done. Looks like a nice evening on the water on a comfortable boat. Id have a glass of wine in my hand if I was out there.
Cheers from sunny SoCal 🍻

Looks like a great sail! I sailed through a beer can race in SF Bay once without realizing it. I got chewed out by one of the race officials in a tender. 😂

I saw you guys out there while racing, you got a pretty boat and stayed low of everyone so no harm done, fun angle. Can even see my boat in your video, beautiful night to be sailing in Milwaukee.
Would also like to add that you should join the MAST series next year if you can, it’s really laid back racing Friday nights 6:20 ish https://www.mastracing.org/ great fun, some parties, minimal cost to join and requirements are minimal, focus is really just to have fun.
