We had a great day sailing back on Sunday. Broad to beam reach with winds 15 gusting to 20.. Valkyr was moving like a freight train.. nothing could stop her. Jerry on his Catalina 36 was having to work just to keep in sight of us. We gradually pulled away from them over the course of the day. A pirate boat isn’t a pirate boat with out its own pirate flag. Independence at the beginning of day lead us out the shortcut on the south side of the capefear inlet. Well the sad truth is that I didn’t take a single solitary picture out on the water during the race. 🙁 however here a few from before and after the race. Angela talking to Jerry and his crew of pirates on Independence his catalina 36 Miriam the pirate babe on the dock. Miriam and Dave the dread pirates Carle and Simms in a standoff. Pirate Captn. Batchelder. Friday I went up the ICW with Angela, Zsanic and Sailor the cat, on Valkyr. First thing before leaving the dock we had issues with the engine not pumping raw water again. It was looking like we were not going to go for a bit, but Richard came over and saved the day. He found that the anti-siphon valve on the raw water cooling side of the engine was no good. So we bypassed that quickly and were ready to go. We still left the dock in time to make the 10 o’clock opening of the Sunset Beach bridge. It was a rainy overcast day with us all bundled up in foul weather gear the whole way. |
