We need to use the boat more this summer and the best way to do that is joining a couple of longer races. The goal is fun, fun, sailing fast, fun, fun and learning new skills. If you're not sure you can stay with PHOENIX for the entire time, we may be able to split crew: one group to race down and others to sail back.

We'll get our rating certificate eventually. I did get an e-mail from PHRF Ches Bay. I don't know when we'll actually see it, though.

We will have a couple of practice days before the races. Stay tuned for them.
