Always a fun Ride!!!!

Sitting on the high side during a race with white caps starting, a spray in my face and a storm in the distance is fun. It doesn't hurt that the boat we are looking at is really behind us, slightly, we beat him. The storm didn't reach us until the race was complete. We got a 3rd place, now that's FUN
