it was another race weekend for the Express 37 fleet, three saturday and two today.

we started saturday with NO breeze and blazing-hot temps and ended with wind in the 25-knot range -- not what we'd expected! but here's Elan looking great no matter what the conditions...

we did well on Bullet saturday -- of the three races, we placed 1-3-1! this was taken on our way back to Tiburon -- everyone very tired but happy with the wins...

from the left: Chris's knees, Lief adjusting his glasses, Mike on the helm, Jerry with arms outstretched (happy to be in the BACK of the boat for a change!), Jamal in the foreground looking ready for three more races, Jeannette trying to dry out slightly on the aft rail, and Mark Dowdy, our guest tactician, beaming...!

(things felt so crazy saturday, i only took two photos all day -- fortunately took a few more today!)

we only had five Express 37s out racing this weekend -- so here's the other four (I was sailing on Bullet, the fifth): Elan, Expeditious, Golden Moon, and Phat Jack, getting ready for the first start on sunday in LOTS of breeze.
