HHSA: Results for Sunday's post season race

Ahoy!  

No WInd, No problem!  5 boats, hopeful that the North wind would make it's switch to Southwest, like Edgartown, Airport and everywhere else, did actually start the course.  The start was postponed til 2:35, but the wind didn't get the message.  A couple of boats soon dropped out as getting to the can at East chop looked to be not possible.  The wind was making attempts but only in micro bursts in acre size areas.  Boats, separated by just 100 feet, were experiencing opposite wind directions and no one was getting very much.  That said, Wendell Colson sailing Silhouette was picked from the group as if raptured from above and sent on his own good way over to the Eastchop shore, along the shore, around the can and into a fair tide and 15 knots of SW wind around Nun 4 and to the finish line as if it were a normal October's Sunday wind.  Gloria's crew, finally got the wind which was mostly West South West and decided to make it for the harbor before it too died off.  Penelope, undeterred, proceeded to do the course finishing 40 minutes after Silhouette.  

Maybe we'll catch a break on Thursday and the 20 knots Northeast expected in the morning will die down by race time? 

All the best,  Roger.
