Sombra de Luna

I think I'll keep this blog for those times when I do sail with others - what fun that is!  So I have created another blog for my new boat.  The current name is officially Moonshadow but I plan to rename her next spring to Sombra de Luna.  Even though I am only changing the language, Sombra de Luna is Spanish for Moonshadow, I'll probably still do the naming ceremony. No sense getting on the wrong side of any wind or sea gods is there?  Since there are 3 other Moonshadows in Olympia, I just wanted something more unique.  So here is the link to another site that I will start posting some information on soon.

Still sailing on others boats

Okay, so I am not boatless anymore but I still like to sail on other people's boats.  This summer I did several of the South Sound Sailing Society's Wednesday night races on Maranatha, a Ranger 33.  But the highlight of the summer racing was on Mako, a Star 22 with Susan Willis.  It was a beautiful day in July and we actually had wind.  We had a blast and nothing broke on the boat.  THANKS Susan.

Here are just a few of the photos:  (the photographers were taking a lot of photos)
