Every good skipper spoils their crew with a college townhouse and air conditioning to rest up for the delivery home.

It took a little while to figure out the right combination of sails to use. It was the first time sailing Morning Star upwind.

This is the first time the spinnaker has flown on Morning Star in at least 14 years (probably more like 20 years.)

Annapolis Yacht Club Junior Sailing Program

Mooring 60 was located right in the middle of the AYC beginning sailing program. Just as we were getting to leave for the start of the race a few gusts rolled through. It was very exciting and we were able to assist and calm a few of the youngsters needing assistance. Overall, I was very impressed with the instructor who was able to stay calm and keep a positive attitude.
