The capt decided to get involved with the weekly "Beer Can" races and yesterday found himself as the newbie crewman on sv French Toast. She's a Benateau First 40.7 and a fast, beautifully equipped boat. There's a lot to learn as racing is entirely different from cruising. The seasoned crew were very understanding and welcoming. The winds were a consistent 14-17 knots and we topped out at 9 knots. Exciting day!
