Opposite Boy Beats The Storm @ Dillon Lake 27Jul14

Circumnavigated the 20 mile loop around the lake this morning in the repaired X bike - no chain jumps but it didn't index well; work to do... climbed Swan Mtn Rd without issue. There was a yacht club handicaped race today on Dillon - mostly J boats with crews were running in weak wind. I took the opposite path of the race boats and was single-handed. I started late but the sails were easy to raise without wind. I actually got into the doldrums downwind and had to resort to motoring to wind once... sheesh. That was long after the race had ended... it picked up again as a storm approached - I made haste and fortunately made it to port for totties before the storm.
