there's a first time for everything

first laser worlds,

first time representing the laser blogging team (makes me really not want to let the team down, and i hadn't even known i'd been recruited),

first hurricane,

first time qualifying for silver fleet,

first time sailing in a fog, let alone race in one,

first time being pressured by another blogger into posting something.

i'll try not to make the tillerman wait from now on for fear of losing my place on the team.

wow i've found a new purpose in life. good times.
