In the previous blog, I described our race experience as we swept the Georgetown Regatta and we were named boat of the year!
But truth be told our sailing was far from the most impressive boat handling I saw this past week. Our friends on S/V Jasaru had been changing anchorages in Elizabeth harbor when all of the sudden their transmission seized, engine temps went through the roof and they unexpectedly found themselves adrift without an engine!!! Justin and Sherry being well salted sailors were quick to act after a moment of shock, quickly getting there sails up. Now they had their 53′ Pearson cruising along, tacking left and right to make it up the tight channel and avoiding running aground!
