Hampton Roads VA Sunfish Challenge and Dinghy Race

 15 Sep 24:

Went out this morning to watch the start of the Hampton Roads VA Sunfish Challenge and Dinghy Distance Race sponsored by the Hampton Yacht Club. From the Notice Of Race: "The intended course to be sailed will consist of a start in Hampton Flats with at least one mark consisting of Middle Ground Lighthouse. Course is approximately 11 NM." But due to high winds with a lot of gust, the race was shortened. I met a lot of nice folks, helped launch a few boats and then headed back to the other side of the James River.

Trailex SUT-220, a great trailer for short and medium hauls. Sold as a kit, 12 inch wheels also available which is what we'd run for long haul highway trips.

Crickle

23 Aug 24: 

Our CRICKet bat sized paddLE = the Crickle. We made it from a full size paddle that had a rotten tip and chunk of blade missing. Cut down the shaft and shaped a Greenland style blade.
