I am going to ride in the Santa Barbara 100. Actually going for the 100 mile ride. Part of me feels like it is hubris on my side to try it as my first ride of this sort. The 100 km or 39 mile right would have been a better choice.

Well, no guts no glory.

Time-lapse (1 frame every 0.5 seconds) No Sound.

The first 3 minutes were waiting for the first gun. A fun day on the Ocean.

Goal is to get back up to 10 pullups a day. Most challanges start with one and increase by one every day. I am going to try to do it as every third day. Goal is to get to 10 pullups.

I admit, I am far from being a good Christian. It is a standard that is hard to live by. One quote has been nagging me lately, the other has to go with it.

So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.

—John 8:7

What follows is:

...And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more

—John 8:11

Forgiveness, atonement and redemtion is important for a gentle and truly inclusive world.

Fun race. We actually had some wind. We need to work on being comfortable sailing wing on wing. Wing on wing is a little harry and not even intuitive. Wing on Wing is slower sailing. It is a form of turning an asymmetrical boat into a symmetrical shoot boat. What it does in proper situations is increases VMG.

No Sound Time-lapse (1 frame every 0.5 seconds) of me sailing in the Bugay Single Handed Race. Did not make it around Platform C because of the lack of wind and concern that I would not make it back in time . However, the small craft warning actually happen. The wind got up to 20+ on the way in. Motored the last mile be I was having trouble holding the boat down.

Motored the last mile because I was having trouble holding the boat down.

First part of the race was hard for me. I was late to the line. Also the lack of wind made it hard for me to pay attention to the task at hand.

Time lapse did not capture the fact that the swells where large.

There were a total of four sailors that day. One single handed a J111. I don't know how he did it, but I am impressed. Another who finished was on a Moore 24.
