Ahoy!
7 boats turned out for a Columbus Day (Indigenous People's Day) Weekend race twice around the triangle in a 10 knot Southeastern Breeze. The boats finished up as the Hurricane Isaias' rain arrived in the harbor. The race was started an hour earlier than usual to avoid too much wet and the timing turned out pretty much on target. The odd thing for today was the slop on the way to the Can 23a at East Chop from the Nun 4 start. In fact the harbor was full of a swell that turned into a 4 foot chop along that route and with the wind blocked by the East Chop bluff, most all the boats suffered a big hit to their speed. No matter, a good fast ebbing tide made up for the lost time to West Chop and elapsed times were short as Windward work was reduced to a couple of places along the legs that simply required a close reach. Gloria won the race with Maitland Second and Apres Third.
I'm including the current standings with today's report and a reminder of the scoring system for the post season racing. For there to be a completed series, 5 races with at least 3 boats will need to be held and scored. A competitor's final score can count up to 5 races. If a competitor races in more than 5, only his best 5 races will be scored. Racing will continue until 3 boats can no longer be gathered for a race, by agreement of the all wishing to continue. The Hugh Schwarz Cup is awarded for the winner of the series to hold until the next season.
Hoping for a few more good days in October,
Roger.
