Vashon Island Race

The Vashon Island Race is the first of four that constitute the Southern Sound Series. Thursday is a travel and boat prep day. Friday we deliver BackBeat to Tacoma, and we sail on Saturday. This race, hosted by the Tacoma Yacht Club, is a circumnavigation of Vashon and Maury Islands. The weather looks okay–it is December, after all–but I’m still watching the wind reports.  Should be fun.  There are some clubhouse events associated with the race, so even if the winds are foul there will be opportunities to hobnob with my fellow boat nuts.  I’ll try to get some pictures, or video, or both, to post.  More later . . .
