Team Tartan Commodore Chris and mascot Stretch
For the last eight years, my brother Chris and I have been sailing the National Capitol Leukemia Cup regatta. We mostly do this to raise money to fight leukemia (a disease that killed our mother), but we also like to win the race on the water.
Over the years we have done just a smidge better raising money than we have sailing the race. We were number one in both a few years back. But since then, our sailing has become a bit rusty even while we have taken home the fundraising Leukemia Cup for many years in a row.
This year we’re kicking ass on the fundraising front (thanks to our many donors, but especially to phil venables). So far we have raised a collective $56,207. That is a major record for Team Tartan.
If you would like to donate, you can do it now on the net.
In order to up our game on the water, we did some practice this weekend.
Sailing Practice with Team Tartan
The jib pole is always a challenge.
Sailing practice can be tiring. Here is our mascot Stretch ready to jibe.
JIBE! Er, sleep.
See you on the water.
Fin.
PLEASE MAKE A DONATION TO TEAM TARTAN

The bluebells are out. Thousands and thousands of them for miles along the river.

The snow is still deep. We’re still cutting trails with lots of effort. Sophie is shorter than the snow is tall. But frankly, the slow melt is fantastic given our location on the Shenandoah river.
