After a great start on the J109 GTR the A35 was on the prowl with their big mast head kite casting a wind shadow over the race leader. We made a poor decision not to stay clear ahead at all cost which ended up us costing the race. The A3 slipped to leeward, got out of the tide, lead at the first mark before sailing away to take the race victory. The team at bottom up boats hope you are enjoying our short bits of the 2025 racing season.

Christmas in Grapevine Texas feels like stepping into a holiday movie. We explore historic Main Street during the Christmas festival, visit landmarks from the 1800s, then head to Scott’s Landing Marina for a Bad Santa Boathouse pop-up dinner. The night ends recording our Christmas podcast inside glowing snow globes on the dock. History, lights, sailing, food, and Christmas magic—Texas style. #GrapevineTexas #TexasChristmas #ChristmasFestival #SailingIntoNirvana #ScottLandingMarina #holidaytravel @SailingIntoNirvana Website: http://sailingintonirvana.com Social: http://facebook.com/@sailingintonirvana Patreon: http://patreon.com/sailingintonirvana Fire Dragon Spices: http://piraterodneys.com _________________________________________________________ 🎵 Copyrighted music licensed from Lickd. https://lickd.co Christmas Journey (Instrumental) by Ben Parry, Garth Bardsley, https://t.lickd.co/l/VxK0Dnn9K9v Holiday Mood (Instrumental) by Ben Parry, Garth Bardsley, https://t.lickd.co/l/zovBP27jgV7 Rockin' Wizards by Christopher Ashmore, https://t.lickd.co/l/zo0Y7wJzbn6 Christmas on East Street by Terry Devine-King, Bob Bradley, https://t.lickd.co/l/72BN9P4ejrk Feel The Love (Instrumental) by William Davies, https://t.lickd.co/l/qDpPnjYye6v

A gale suddenly blows into the bay but, the sailboat storm anchor holds fast. A day of intense gusts and anxious moments, but Vie Sauvage holds steady with her over-sized anchor. Too much anchor is better than too little in my limited experience.
