This saturday is a milestone for yacht “Rasa” LTU-20 crew and me as a skipper, as we have officially opened sport sailing season 2009 in Galves lake (Trakai, Lithuania). With a decent result, 4th place out of 8 participants in the respective start group, we have made our first attempt in regatta sponsored by the Olympic Casino.
Moreover, our new crew is going to get better at it and will be taking part in at least 4 more sailing events in Autumn ’09.
Let’s introduce the crew – Aurelijus is our main trimmer and ballast, Aleksandras is specialist in spinnaker handling, Rytis is a foredeck hand, while Valdas works on backstays & spinnaker preparation. There might be slight changes in team due to availability & unavoidable weekend plans, but I guess we can continue in that same spirit further on.

P.S. We had cozy evening watching regatta awards and playing club poker in the Casino that same evening, however I have to admit, we were more successful under the sails than with the poker chips at hand.
