Tuesday Series 9/22/20

It was definitely a Fall evening. Winds were light out of the West with an occasional shift to the NW. First mark was 8(P), down to mark 2(P), over to mark 3(P) and then a windward finish. We were only able to get in 8 heats and even had trouble getting the boats back to the dock. Rick had refurbished and new sails for Larry W’s boat and sailed it the whole evening. Very impressive improvement in performance, look out Silver fleet. There was only one fleet start and Brad (Silver fleet) continues to challenge the Gold fleet by finishing ahead of them, look out Gold fleet. It’s interesting to note that even though Larry’s and Brad’s boats are older boats they remain competitive.

This was my last race day as Sail Director as my wife and I are relocating to Charlotte, NC. Our family is consolidating there and in the Spring of next year all but one of our kids will be there, along with all three of our grandkids. Very conflicting times as we’re excited about our future family time but sad to leave our family and friends in CLE. I want to thank the WRMYC family for their friendship and competitive spirit, it will be deeply missed.

Note: Mike W will taking be over as SD.
