So we went for it!  Coty and I hauled the Nacra F-18 Infusion out to Long Beach to compete in the Western Area Formula 18 Championship.  I figured that this is my last summer off before the hospital owns me for 80+ hours/week so I might as well do it while I can!  We had an awesome two days of racing with 7 races total.  We learned a lot about making out boat go faster especially on the spinnaker run.  The championship was hosted well by the Alamitos Bay Yacht Club the North American Formula 18 Association Chairman Dan Delave.  We would like to extend a special thanks to Ian Sammis who let us crash at his pad while there in Long Beach.  Check out a few photos we took while there including pics of the custom Nacra Infusion that took 1st place.  Click on the link below to see our GPS tracks of the day 1 races.

The fourth of July weekend at Bear Lake turned out fantastic!  We had hull-flyin wind all three days filled with good company and great food.  The first annual “Gumball Rally” was a fun two heats around a long course running from the east shore to the west shore of Bear Lake.  We were given bonus points for packing on as many of our family members as were willing.  Check out the results below.  Click here to see some photos.

Last weekend at Utah lake, The keel boats raced in the first half of
the Utah summer Games.

It started out as a rainy, overcast day. Later
in the morning the sky cleared up and it turned into a beautiful Day.
There was a decent turn out of about 9 boats. Shaun, Coty, Pia, and I
went out on our cats to play while the keel boats did their thing.
Wade, Collette and Werner sailed “Hell of a Woman”, They were there to
represent the USA. It was Wades first race on his boat and they had a
great time. He finished 7th overall, even though he didn’t take a
medal he did beat BYU. Way to go Wade, It was a fun day, I hope the
weather is as nice for the summer games at Deer Creek. Brett did a

great job organizing and I think the Provo sailors Had a great time.
