Congrats Jacky!!!!
Congrats Jacky!!!!
That it was! But you were there, prepared and stuck it out! Well deserved.
Not only did Jacky stick it out..In true SSS sprit she pulled into GGYC and help the race deck finish out the night until 2am!
Oh, honestly! Saint Jackie here: I was just looking for food. And it was all gone!!!
Seriously, folks, the woman of the moment surely is Amy on Wingit! I'll bet she wasn't on anybody's radar to win this thing. Yet as I approached the stinky rocks (still far far east) hers was the first mast that I saw poke its head around the southern tip. Nearby, of course, was that familiar red spinnaker, but I digress.
Amy is the one who brings her two beautiful little girls to meetings. She is the harried mother who offers up toys to distract them while she tries to pay attention to details of upcoming races. Talk about grit! In order to race on Saturday I'll bet she had to make all the arrangements for their care in her absence: husband or partner notwithstanding, little girls depend upon their mothers to reassure them of their return. So, congratulations, Amy! I have seen you sail doublehanded over in the South bay during the Interclub series. Was this your first offshore singlehanded event or is this old stuff to you? You sure made it look easy!
First, let me add my congrats for Jackie's race. If I were a woman, I could say, "You Go Girl!" but I'm not, so I won't. And thanks for the post-race effort as well.
I remember Amy coming to SSS meetings with her Father when she was young. I wonder how many SSS "Families" there have been over the years?
Well I will say it, you go girl! Great job.
