3SUM with her shiny new bottom painted
3SUM had her bottom painted and is looking pretty good. Lisa was taking the pictures as I motored over to pick her up at the fuel dock. I wish people would just get their gas and go, instead of having a picnic in front of the fuel dock. Lisa had to make quite a jump to get into the boat. We went out and had little to no wind, but 3SUMs new bottom really sped things along.

Regata del Sol al Sol
Regata del Sol al Sol
Yeah, this is definitely cool. I wish we would have known about this because it would have been great to go out into the bay and watch them take off. Maybe have 3Sum dog them for awhile.

Today's sail
 |
| This big old plane buzzed us on the way to MacDill AFB. |
This knucklehead in a big powerboat with his girlfriend he was trying to impress came right at our bow and at the last minute, veered and roared away. Tampa Bay is pretty big so he had plenty of room to avoid us. What a knob.
Not a good deal of wind. Stayed around 5-8 k. We managed to snag a crabpot and that was the big excitement. We finally added the right shackle to the mainsail and had much better sailshape. Probably are going to need to get the hull cleaned as it was pretty filthy with marine growth.

Bit of a Nasty 3.4 foot short Chop with 16 k gusting to 26 knots

| The racers didn't seem to mind, but it seemed their markers kept moving - or we did. We had to sail through their fleet a couple times. |

| After sailing, we had Cheese WOW! Not only was it delicious on a triscuit - it was also a Great Value! TheTriscuit B*ch enjoyed this. |
