Thank you for reading this. I've been so busy with end of the school year stuff. This chapter was tough. I edited and re-edited. It's close now, but some of the exposition is still seems clunky. I guess with any kind of niche activity a writer has to try and hit the middle.
This may have not gone out in email because I edited it too quickly... I accidentally named it Chapter 5, then went in and changed it to 6...
Great action here, Kyle. I have been wanting to write about sailboat racing as it has been a lifelong passion of mine. I always convince myself that the esoteric and niche nature of the sport would not make foe exciting reading. You have proved me wrong!
By the way, I did not get this story by email, hence my reading 3 days late. Maybe there is a glitch you should look into in case I'm not the only one.
It took me a long time to work out this race scene. I read it to my wife and she thought it might be a bit too in the weeds, so I reworked some of it. Nice thing is the 420 races have a pretty quick turn around. I have not been to HWS so that was more research also.
Thank you for taking the time to read this and comment. My school year of teaching ends the last week of June. Yacht racing starts back this month. I'll be crewing on my fiends 40 foot 1950s yawl. That will be fun...😀
I'll echo Jim's comment. Didn't get this by email either but I'm sure glad I read it. Great job again. Really enjoying Stinger. - Jim
