[Rhodes22-list] What I did while y'all were at the boat show....

Elle,

Great pictures!  I wouldn't have wanted to be the poor guy in that cold, choppy water!

Your friend's Stone Horse 23 is a beauty!  Do you ever get to take her out or are you strictly a wheel-girl?

The Hospice Regatta was this weekend at the Rivah.....so I had to work the end of the week at the marina .....here are several photos of the event...this is Saturday, the day of Da Wind...
1. the Riverboat    for spectators to enjoy the races both days.
2. wild winds 1&2 ....the winds increased steadily all afternoon...cold & wet at race time. Word was they were 15 gusting to 25. My SO is at the tiller in WW # 1..tanbark sails...boat is a Stone Horse
3. Man OB 1 &2... the race committee delayed the race for 30 mins to allow everyone to get out to the start (they were idiots). @ 141 boats were alll circling around the start line..several collisions...we were @ 50 yds away when I saw the two boats almost collide...and the fellow landed in the water. the winds made it very difficult (we were in a powerboat from the marina)  to approach from downwind.. Two of us got him out of the water while our helmsman did a great job of getting us into position & keeping us there.
4. Oops ..enuf said  Lotsa wind.  
Next year I hope to join y'all Thurs & still make the Regatta on Sat & Sun...
