This race took us out of the harbor and around Long Island - I think we are in this photo but it hard to tell - but its a nice photo regardless

This photo is shortly after the start at Calves Week. After a not so hot start this photo shows us at the moment we found a great lane of clean air and tacked in to it. You can actually see the lane in this photo.

I've been racing lately on a Cork 1720, a kind of Melges 24 on steroids. We recently competed at Calves Week, Ireland's answer to the world famous Cowes Week in England. In the final race on Sunday, we came third and surprised the entire fleet, including our skipper. It was a proud moment at the prize giving later that night.
We go to Baltimore, around the other side of Roaringwater Bay, next week for the 1720 Nationals. We're about to find out how good we really are.

The traditional boats gather at Ballydehob, not far from us, every year for some music, dancing, food and fun. Jeremy Irons, the actor, has restored a castle that is on the way here and invited the fleet to stop for a drink and a tour while they waited for a favorable tide to reach the festival. The sailors sail out later with the tide while everyone else heads for the pubs where the music plays on.
