Sail 'n' Lips 08Jun18

Yoho & I launched Mon Ami today amid setbacks and successes. First as we went out I discovered the mainsail was broken and I hadn't fixed it over the winter as I'd planned - so we were gonna blow it off. Then I recalled I have a backup mainsail so wen't back out and launched. The new furler works well and the mainsail we used worked fine. While we had some doldrums, ultimately we caught good wind for 90 minutes or more before we came back to the Nest and then headed to Aspen.

We ate a a favorite Asian place in Aspen called the Brown Bear and then grabbed some beers at Aspen Brewing Company before we headed to the Flaming Lips concert. We met some major fans and were impressed with their appropriate dress for the concert at ABC. The concert was very good despite the opening act "blank" being not to our liking. The Flaming Lips have so many props and so many hits that the show was amazing. They sang all the great hits and used all the great props from pink robots to laser hands to eyeballs to unicorns and more - they played into early morning. We had a great time at BellyUp Aspen.
