Preparations for our First Regatta: The Zongo Cup!!!

Next weekend we will participate in our first local regatta.  The Captain has crewed other boats on the blue ocean, but this will be Training Wheels' public debut.  We are sailing with the Morro Bay Yacht Club from Morro Bay to Avila Beach.  It will be a 4-6 hour sail!  When we get to Avila, we will raft up and enjoy the tunes of the Zongo All-Stars!

  1. I always forget something! Even if it's on the list. Check out my checklist, maybe you'll find something useful (there are several tabs there) : http://www.pacificsailors.com/p/checklist-project.html
