09.23.16 The Great Chase Race

One of my favorite activities during the summer months is racing. I am crew on a beautiful Saber 34 named "Pajama Girl". Her skipper is Charlie and the crew on this race included Richard, Don, Theresa and me. The last big race of the season is the "Great Chase" is hosted by the yacht club in Hull. This yer 117 sailboats of all classes were registered and it is quite fun if not a little hair raising to jostle around the start line waiting for the gun. At the end of the day, there is a great barbeque with a band and a slide show of the boats.

Here are a few photos of the competing sailboats! And yes, it rained a little, hence the gray skies.








 





 



The ferry went right threw the race! Many ferries would go around the sailboats.





This was a great dog! He loved being on the sailboat!
 

 



 




And we were treated to a beautiful sunset on the sail back home.
