HAUL OUT

I've been wating to get the bent shaft replaced or straitned, and decided it was time to do it. The Old Prop Shaft
One surprise was when I went to drive my care back from the boAt yard, no Keys. I lost them. I also copuld not find Judy's spare set. So I hired the guys at the key shop and they made me a new set.
 BANDERAS BAY REGATTA 

I've been sailing the Bandaeras Bay Regatta since 2015. This will be the tenth year. Alays good, always competitive. I have a good team, but we all miss Judy.

During the Regatta Wings was involved in a serious collision with another boat. Approaching the windward mark on starboard but not able to make the mark, the other boat tacked to port right in front of Wings, despite several hails of "Starboard". With only seconds to act, I tried to duck to avoid the collision, but the other boat then tried to tack back, making the collision inevitable. In a protest meeting chaired by an international judge Wings was totally exonerated. Video shot by a race committee mark boat

SETTING OFF TO THE SEA OF CORTEZ 


There were lots of work to be done to fix Wings and change Wings' mode from race boat to cruiser, but we got it done with plenty of help from Wings' crew: Terry, Richard, David, Anna, Tim, and Rene
