New Shades!
I god to pick-up my new shades today. They’re UPDs from Kaenon. I already had a similar pair but I thought they were lost – until they were found and given to me this weekend at New Englands. Apparently they had fallen off my head behind the couch at the house we were staying at during the Friis Trophy… I may or may not have been SLIGHTLY.. uhhh…. inebriated.. :) This is my third pair of Kaenons, I also have a pair of Kurbs.
We Qualified!
Yesterday we started out extremely well and went undefeated through the first round robbin. Today we completed a round of 8 and a final four. After being mathematically locked into qualifying, Scott decided it best to not sail since his ankle was hurt and Scotty L sailed in his place. We had a poor showing in the final four, loosing all of our races – but we still qualify and thats all we really cared about. Props to Harvard who won and Brown who also qualified. Regatta report is on the ICSA mailing list.
Trux
I just uploaded some video from the Trux regatta that I sailed this spring – it shows me doing quite well in the first race (ended up third) and some footage of Peter Fleming who was sailing B Division. I was sailing with Jimmy Attridge 07’. Trux Video.
