A Nice Afternoon...

Saturday afternoon, March 6 we took Icon out for a few hours of cruising (even though we were in race mode). The skies were clear and winds were 10-15 knots from the Northwest.  We headed north of Guemes Island and beat our way towards Bellingham at 10-11 knots boatspeed.

Once we got to Vendovi Island we turned downwind and ran back to Anacortes - made it back to the dock by around 5:00pm - a wonderful day on the water and another chance to test the systems on the boat.  We have a few things yet to work out, but we should be in very good shape by the end of this week.

Our next event is the annual AYC Lawson Reef race on March 13...
