SFWMRT at BoatUS Santa Maria Cup - Day One
The first day of the 2008 BoatUS Santa Maria Cup dawned with, a passing cold front, twenty degree cooler temperatures, and 15 knots more breeze than yesterday – What a difference a day makes! The breeze maxed out at seventeen knots and then faded as the day went on to end in about the 5 knot range. We sailed seven flights and the team had a pretty good day. We had some very close races and most of them ended with us coming out on top, but not without some very tight (overlapped at the finish in two of the wins) races. Good fun sailing!
Here are the results after the first day:
Name Country Wins-Losses
Barkow, Sally USA 6-1
Baylis, Liz USA 5-2

We just had a great dinner at one of our favorite Annapolis restaurants – Lemongrass on West Street, with our AWESOME hosts – Sharon and Jeff Borland. They have taken care of us for years in Annapolis – a second home. Thanks, Jeff and Sharon!
Okay, off to bed!
