It was at our local beer can race. "Prom" Night. We dropped the sails and I pulled up next to the committee boat and yelled at them "we have a sacrifice for you!" and all the girls jumped in then I went in a few seconds after this pic was taken...

Since its picture time I'll add some other from that night and before...

Girls couldn't figure out the spinnaker pole topping lift while we were racing so I just told them to hold it there. Best topping lift ever!

I need to show off the blue spreader light project we did when the mast is down!

That's a well-dressed foredeck!

I wanted to know, "Who's the one wearing the gloves?", then thought better of it.

I'm a sucker for a prepared woman. Is that so wrong?

Jared, If that is you with outstretched arms, then you must be yelling "No, Don't Jump!" Apparently the crew did not obey the skipper's orders. Did the one really climb back over the side? I hope her prom dress wasn't rented, because it seemed to have floated away.

Good fun on a summer night.

Why are they holding their noses in the paper's photo?

You got some 'splainin' to do!

Did you see that headline in that paper below the picture "Work Will Cause Traffic Disruption on Busy Parkway"? That's why I quit working to do my part in reducing traffic disruption. Now the traffic is no longer disrupted. Its worse than ever.

the girl on the side actually swam up to us. Her name is Kari and I just helped them sail up their new tartan 41 (80's) from Portland to Seattle a few months ago.

your right about the one in the gloves but she belongs to the captain and lives aboard with me.

arms are raised part of my delivery speech. Had to make it grand! But that is me. I jumped in a few seconds later

just noticed she was jumping off the lifeline. I'll have to chat with her about that one for next time.

not sure why she is plugging her nose. Its only a little water!
