4. Racing on Ceol na Mara

What a beautiful night it turned out to be! After we got out of the canal to find ourselves alone, surrounded my grey skies we were hoping wouldn't turn menacing and green (like that unforgettable retreat back into Sumpwam's Creek a few years ago), we saw Rick and the rest of Race Committee headed for us through the bridge.

Yes, the race was on! Why wouldn't it be? Plenty of other racers showed up to chase the thunderheads away; Rick and crew set up a great course, perfect for the calm, flat conditions.

And I'm sure Jack is sick of me taking pictures instead of intently trimming the jib, but I can't help it when it's so freaking gorgeous out there!

Race Committee Thursday!
