The 2nd Annual Zongo Yachting Cup was a hit! The race was sponsored by the calypso band Zongo All-Stars. The Yacht clubs of San Luis and Morro Bay hosted the start and finish festivities. Most boats sailed the course in 4-6 hours. Winners got trophies; all others received fun mugs. The courtesy skiff service was great! We spent the night on the boat and motor-sailed back today. Our top speed was 5.2 knots.
Training Wheels made it to Avila Beach and back intact, but not without some hitches! A picture is worth a thousand words so I'll just post some of the most amazing shots. We will go over the mishaps in the next few posts, but basically, here is a synopsis: the boom broke in half tearing our mainsail; we lost an anchor and nearly floated to Pismo Beach; the percolater wouldn't make us coffee on the barbie.
