WTKA is very proud of Mr Matt and his Hero Squad racing team for coming in 2nd in the 2009 Screwpile!
Sunday afternoon, Matt let Russ, Kate and Me tag along on his sailing race from Baltimore to Annapolis. It was pretty intense and I hurt today...even though I didn't do a lot of work!
Last weekend, Matt and I were graced with the presence of our beloved Tracey, and her wonderful boyfriend Ben. But where do you take 2 Connecticut-ites? Obviously Hampden, HON!
We also had a mini 'berg reunion at Kathmandu Kitchen (mmm)
And went sailing!
And we finished off the weekend with every Baltimore Tourists must-have, crab cakes from Pappas.
Tracey's friend Shelly joined us for dinner. She was enthralled with the Gurgle Pot :-)

So after a long weekend of light winds & strong current we finished in a respectable 6th place in the PHRF A3 Fleet at Annapolis Race Week.
After our 2nd place finish in the CBYRA's Sail for Kids we have redeemed ourselves with a bullet in last weekend's NERYC Invitational. Having some practice tonight to get ready for this weekend's Govenor's Cup.
So we had a little broach last week & our good friend Andy Herbick caught it all on camera. Just to help us never forget he put together this lovely video.

In almost every way, Steve Manson finds himself living a storybook life scripted by Disney.
Born and raised in West Baltimore, the 22-year-old sailor is part of the support crew for Morning Light, which will set sail tomorrow in the grueling Transpacific Yacht Race from California to Hawaii aboard a boat financed by Roy Disney.
The 2,225-mile voyage by 11 young sailors, the youngest crew to compete in the race, is being filmed for a documentary to be released next year.
