2016 Sharp HospiceCare Regatta Results

The 2016 Sharp HospiceCare Regatta came to an end with fine weather, brews, and BBQ as the winners were called. While our team, Minx didn't place, we used the time as a learning experience that will better suit us the next race. With practice and coordination we improve our times.

The HospiceCare Ragatta was a pursuit race meaning that boats start at different times which gets rid of the starting clutter and limits the chances of accidents and sharing gel-coat with another vessel. The fastest ships wins based on speed.

This was my first competitive race so I did my best, stayed calm and focused on my job. There is a lot of chaos that goes on during the race and if you stay focused on your job and avoid getting confused by other commands that don't pertain to you.

Our time wasn't as strong as hoped based on a couple of  factors such as trying to maneuver around a wayward vessel at the start line causing a 23 second delay. In addition, we tried to use a spinnaker sock which got tangled and had to come down to untwist.

Next race I will focus more on understanding my role in the vessel and its connections to other roles. Focus more on how the different positions and personalities rely on each other and create greater responsiveness to the race itself.

The Meaning of A Boundless Moment by Robert Frost

A Boundless Moment by Robert Frost He halted in the wind, and — what was that Far in the maples, pale, but not a ghost? He stood there bringing March against his thought, And yet too ready to believe the most. "Oh, that's the Paradise-in-bloom," I said; And truly it was fair enough for flowers had we but in us to assume in march Such white luxuriance of May for ours. We stood a moment so in a strange world, Myself as one his own pretense deceives; And then I said the truth (and we moved on). A young beech clinging to its last year's leaves. The poem is one of seasons changing and the cycle of life. Each May the bloom comes out and brings life to the death of winter. The poem is about a single moment when the characters see that life has changed. The layers of meaning can be deep but on the surface it appears Robert Frost is discussing nature and its cyclical momentum.   Everything in nature moves through patterns. The poem indicates that

Art Review: The Kiss by Gustav Klimt

The Kiss is Gustav Klimt’s most famous and well known painting. Produced in 1908 in Vienna, Austria and incorporated oil and gold life on the canvas ( 1 ). This was unique for his time and represents both tile works with Asiatic influence. The painting and the romance it brings forward is still wonderment to onlookers. The picture depicts a passionate relationship between a man and woman in a sort of perfect place.  The couple is embracing, bodies entwined, wearing robes of wealth and decadence. It provides linear constructs of the Art Nouveau style and the movement of arts with crafts ( 2 ). The male is square and masculine while the woman painted is in curves to represent femininity. The couple is a pair with the woman and man equal in stature. They are in a field of flowers and appear to rise above it.  To many this painting represents the concept that love has no bounds. Social position or worldly wealth cannot hide what goes on under the fancy clothes and standard m

The Nine Parries of Saber Fencing

The Parry is important for defending against attacks and offers an opportunity to counter attack. Without learning parries it will be difficult to effectively compete in fencing. Your body will be generally open to seasoned fencers. Practicing defending against attacks using multiple parries is important for creating the highest levels of competitive skill. The most common parries used are Parry of Four, Parry of Six, Parry of Seven, and Parry of Eight ( 1 ). They are designed to protect your right side, left side, lower stomach, middle of your stomach. They are parries designed to cover the core areas of your body and help you defend against the majority of fencing attacks.   Prime: Stops a cut to the chest.
