Just squeezed in

August 25, 2008   

We just squeezed into third place for Torbay Race week on Santana beating 4th place by 0.5 of a point. Pretty amazing considering there were 3 Perrins on the boat all yelling abuse at each other. The other two/three crew need to take the trophy home for dealing with the Family Perrin for 6 races. Truly awful crew work at times and the worst chinese gybe in the last race 200 yards from the finish line that I have done in a long time. However, we survived each other – just – and the family holiday continues tomorrow in Cornwall with on shore activities. I am sure Dad will remember his 65th birthday celebrations with a mix of emotions. He is still trying to figure out how as a parent who provides a boat for his kids to race can be treated like an imbecile – kids will be kids Dad! We do love you.
