Tuesday 9/8 Race Results
Well that was one for the books. The hour prior to racing was near perfect, sunny with winds at 4-6 out of the south. By the time we started racing the winds had already started to soften. We tried a long course for the first two heats: windward to mark 1 (P), down to mark 6 (P) and then a windward finish but realized that was too long. The next two heats were drifters with almost no wind. We went into wait mode. Finally, there was enough wind to try and race. Then a front moved through bringing a 180°-degree wind shift, NNE, and winds of 6-8. The temperature dropped about 10 degrees and it started to rain. As a result, we were only able to get in 8 heats.
There ended up being three boat rescues. One of them under a beautiful rainbow with Bob K and his son. There were also two birthdays; Bob K (80th) and Mike W. (71st). Happy Birthday guys. Racing this Saturday.
