Elle & I is done for another very very short season on Lake Champlain. Her sails are off, engine winterized, and on her cradle ready to be covered for 6 months of winter. Elle and I placed 6th in the fleet her first year of racing. I already miss being on her. I can't wait for the day we finally take her south.

Fair Winds & Smooth Sailing,

The First RSYC challenge race is in the books. We place 6th in a fleet of 30 boats. You can see Raven the 5th place boat in the finish photo. We were less than 2 seconds apart. Elaine was at the helm the whole race and she was amazing! We had a blast.

Fair winds & Smooth sailing,

Race tomorrow

Well, tomorrow is the big club race challenge. We're up to 30 boats so far from 4 different clubs. We'll be sailing jib and main only and everyone is welcome. Point Bay Marina and the Royal Savage Yacht Club are sponsoring the race and a BBQ after the race. The winds are going to be light North 5-10 kts. Elle & I doesn't really get going till she's in 10 kts. so it'll be a challenge for us. It should be a lot of fun, and fun is the main reason most of us do these races!! Wish us luck and lots of wind!

Fair winds & Smooth sailing,

Lawrence Leonard s/v Elle & I
