Ahoy! 6 boats showed up to race in the first ever Saturday race around course #3 in about 10 knots of wind. Holmes Hole races have traditionally been on Sundays and Thursday evenings, but with a little foresight for this post season race, which was scheduled for a windy and rainy Sunday, it was moved to be raced today in conditions unlikely available tomorrow. Good idea? Well, the turn out was respectable and the weather, for October, was perfect. The race featured plenty of broad reaches and a little bit of windward work. The current favored everyone and made for a quick race, just an hour to just under an hour and a half. Gloria won the race by just 30 seconds over Silhouette. All six positions were within 4 minutes on corrected time.
The island will be hunkered down for a wet Nor'easter this week but I'm thinking everyone is hanging on for another post season race or two.
All the best,
Roger.
