Race To Mackinac World's longest freshwater sailboat race!!! |
The boat; Larry's gorgeous Swan 48, SO FAR |
All the boats had to parade past NAVY PIER. . . |
Ian takes the helm at the start, Will trims and Roland looks cool!! |
Motoring out of the basin; Larry on the helm, Roddy hanging out, Sarah and Roland engaged in deep, meaningful conversation whilst Henry (Hank) studies his navaguesser info. |
Just a few of the boats involved in prerace manuevers! |
Hey Bill, did you say you need another piece of CHEESECAKE?? Larry, you can be our server anytime!!! |
You can't read the repeaters from this picture now, but we're making 8 plus knots!! Not too shabby. Later in the day Larry maxed us out at 10.4 knots; course it helps when it's blowing 20+ knots!!! |
Honey, I have to work late again tonight, don't wait up. . . |
These new flat screen TV's are great, but the satellite dish keeps losing the signal. |
Anybody seen Dave??? |
Geez, Larry was grinding so fast the camera was shaking!!! |
Sarah, trimming the 'chute (go fast sail) |
Roland taking his turn at trimming the spinnaker. We had a chute of some kind up for almost the entire race. |
SPONGE-ROD!!! Roddy kept things on track, once you interpreted his Scottish!!! |
Will trimming. Don't know what's keeping those shorts up! |
Ian shares a happy moment in the foreground. And the most important person of all, LARRY, as he steers us acoss the finish line!! Thanks, Larry! |
PHOTO OP!!! Dave takes a turn on the wheel with the Mac bridge in the background. |
Matt on the helm as we approach the Mackinac Island Bridge. |

Rasta Bill and Sarah lend a hand while the rest of us serve as rail meat! Love the different headgear everyone has on. . . |
