NYYC Race Week 2022 – 5 Minutes of Sailporn
So many great memories of sailing in Newport, Narrangansett Bay and paties at Harbor Court. Miss it bigly 🙁
Read MoreYesterday eve, the boat I have been crewing on, Knot Again, was on Committee Boat duty. I ended up hitching a ride on another boat, Bellefaster, a J30.
The thing I am loving about Raritan Yacht Club is how laid back the place is. All I had to do was walk down the dock and utter the words "Anyone need crew?" and Teri, who owns Bellefaster with her husband Mike, said "Sure". No asking about experience, sniffing you out to see if they like the cut of your jib, just "hop on".
We had a lovely sail. It was perfect evening - clear skies, warm, balmy 8kt breeze and a ton of boats out racing. We didn't win but we didn't come last. The company was excellent as were the post-sail beers.
I could get used to this Wednesday night thing!
