In a couple of weeks we will have the City Council Regatta where several of the City Councilpersons rack each other. As we prepare we need to make sure that we have a boat for the participants and the sail on their boat matches the ward they represent. Boat Seven was finished today and needed to be tested.<\/p>\n

Jacob, Eric and I arrived at the sailboat house and put sail boat one and seven into the water. Jacob quickly made his way from the dock catching a lucky gust of wind. Before I knew it, he was telling me that we were racing from point to point on Lake Evans. <\/p>\n

We tacked back and fourth across the lake as I chased him continuously. I usually sail boat one and Jacob usually sails boat three. I was wishing I was in boat one. However, I really do not think that boat seven is any slower or faster than boat one. <\/p>\n

We made our way close to each other and sailed in formation. I kicked back so I could stretch my legs. We debated if we should return or sail some more.<\/p>\n

We finally decided to make our way back to the dock. Eric watches out for us in case one of us has a problem so he can row out to us in a row boat to help us if needed. As usual, he was waiting patiently and glad to see us arrive back at the dock.<\/p>\n
