Progress

Sorry about the lack of updates in the last month. However, this has been due to too much going on, not too little.

The weekend after the DIYC Classic, Cody, Sheehan and I sailed in the Clearwater Challenge on the Santa Cruz 37 Southern Crescent. Cody and I ran the bow, while Sheehan trimmed jib, spinnaker, helped out in the pit and gave Brian input from around the course when she wasn't otherwise occupied. To quote Brian, "Sheehan, you are my hero." Needless to say, we had some crew issues, but finished 3rd in Spinnaker A Division.

I have also been doing a lot of work with Speed Merchant. A few projects include re-rigging and stepping a Sovrel 30 mast, splicing various things, redesigning the SC37 in-hauler system and a lot of running around. Unfortunately I haven't been spending much time working on Furthur, but I have earned enough to order some new deck hardware and Category 1 race stuff like a water bladder and nav lights.
