Socialite Saturday

Hello Blends!

I hope you are enjoying your weekend. We are ecstatic. Awards were given for the adult sailing races at the club last night.  Let me tell you, these men have been sailing together before my children were born. The Captain, a dear friend of ours has: hired a private instructor from Annapolis to train the crew (Husband is on the team), hired a professional sailor to sail with him, taken the crew to Annapolis to practice sailing, woken up his crew at wee hours of the morning to clean the bottom of the boat (please note the boat is in the water so the crew is in scuba gear) so it will go faster. The Captain has had custom J boats designed so he would be more competitive. He has changed the name of his boat so many times, we have to throw out lovely shirts/jackets monogrammed with the past names. I can't even remember the name of the boat, it has changed so often. My BFF

The Captains wife and I have been laughing at them for the last 13 years as they always come in last. Well! Not this year

They came in 2nd!!! The hottest Eye Drs I've ever seen. Congratulations Relentless, you are just that!

Socialite Saturday!

Hello and happy 4th of July

As I mentioned in a previous blog I LIVE in yacht clubs and am a regatta mother. A typical day--get the boat off the trailers. Greye rigs it. Put the boat on a dolly and drag to launch site. Check in at registration desk. Sit around and wait. Skippers meeting. Make sure son has eaten lunch while he ignores me. Watch Greye sail out and try to take pictures, while he dies of embarrassment.  Sit around for 3 hours while he sails, and I can't even see him. Get the boat out of water, rinsed off, de-rigged and back onto trailer. Pack the car. Sit around and wait. Awards ceremony. 11 hours later arrive home.

But when I go to The Ocean City Yacht Club on Friday night for the races....I'm in regatta wear

Vineyard Vine dress, miss trish of capri shoes
