Bainbridge regatta

Hazel raced in a sailing regatta on Bainbridge Island this Saturday and Sunday!

There’s a lot of waiting when you’re part of the Green Fleet (new racers)

But also a lot of boat time

Green Fleet completed 12 races over 2 days on a triangular course. Here’s a shot of Hazel crossing the finish line first (far right, sail number 22772)!!

De-rigging is a whole thing

But there’s still time for lots of sillies (here making faces with her friend Elly in the background)

One of the Green Fleet coaches saved us from a selfie and took this real one

And sailors are even FED on Saturday after the races!

Second day — getting rigged and bladed

Brief huddle with the coach

Then…time!

To!

Sail!

Later, let’s not forget the sitting-in-boats-and-chatting phase (so fun!)

Pretty great experience overall
