Summer of 2nd.

Well folks, last night concluded the gtyc summer racing series. And man, what a humdinger it was!

Breeze on! Our J-33 seemed to like these conditions... Although the bigger boats would nip us upwind, we were definitely fast under our S2 symmetrical.

We ended up winning last night, which cemented 2nd for our fleet in the summer series... Seems like we've been the bridesmaid quite a bit this year... Was nice to squeek out a bullet last night.

J-100 Day

I love sailing on new boats... Today, I was happy to sail on the new J-100 and man, oh, man... What a riot...

I actually was lucky enough to be aboard two 100's today... 1.) in charlevoix... the second 2. ) in Harbor Springs.

The second is the one in which I got to go sailing...

Although not a complete 'sportboat' , this daysailor kind of exceeded my expectations... It was a blast.

I met the owner, a single female socialite , who summers in Haba...She was awesome, new to sailing, and I think... grew to love me... We set out in a southerly breeze from Irish at a good clip towards the point... This boat likes to move...

I had to take some photos of the mainsail, and make nice-nice in my efforts to gain a strong hold back into the Haba Market. Everything set well and looked nice...

It was a good sail, and I look forward to working with Ms. 'Courage'...

Pressure! PRESSURE!

Man, it's been a while folks... And with do cause... It's the end of the season? or is it...

I have whittled myself into a position of do this... do that... oh... and while you're at it, make sure this and that and that other thing get done... Please do it with a smile, and don't screw up...

Damn, everyone has always told me the importance of saying no... But, why is that the most difficult thing for me to do? I find myself getting myself deeper and deeper into situations where I feel like I can't see the light sometimes...

I feel at the crossroads of either a complete success in life, or yet, maybe a complete breakdown? I feel that emptyness of being extremely one dimensional again, and worst of all ... I'm tired.

This is typical of my inability to let others down, my thrive to juggle the world and hang onto too many responsibilities... After all, if I didn't... who would?

So, with the sence of this being my theraputic response to taking myself too seriously in a pampered existance... I'm back to blog...
