Lukemia Cup

June 6th was a brilliant day for sailing, and for sailing for a great cause.  We loaded the boat with friends, family and kids with the idea of a short three hour cruise around Elliott Bay.  A great opportunity to let others sail, and for the kids to get some experience.  This wasn't supposed to be a race.  However, Shawn and I are too competitive so once on the water we immediately started jockeying for the line.  We set the kite and soon found ourselves in fourth place out of 50 boats on a run down to the Seattle waterfront.  We had no business racing with our teenage, and pre-teen crew, and mayhem ensued at the leeward mark.  Father Murhpy ensured that what could go wrong did and it was all a little comical.  Jan took some great photos and we have GoPro of the fracas.  We finished 11th, not that we were supposed to be racing...

Great picts from Jan:
