Ahoy!
Ten boats started today's race around Course #1R in about 5 knots of ENE wind. It seems there was no consensus as to when to take the one required tack eastward along the first leg to 23a at East Chop. In fact, even after the results were in from the first time around, each boat found their own way the second time around. Clearly there was a different wind out near the sound compared to up closer to harbor. It was blowing pretty good for the second time around and boat speeds and lack of the 1/2 mile windward starting leg made it hard for the faster boats to overcome the ratings. That said, the winner, Maitland, found her groove and shut everyone down decisively. The weather predictors these days are in un-charted territory and so it is best to just get out on the water regardless rather than miss a day like today thinking there would be no wind.
Next race Thursday, July 2nd. Short work has been made of June, so don't put it off any longer.
All the best, Roger

Ahoy Roger!
We had an interesting day of racing today! We ran Course 1 in reverse, with our start set off of Buoy A sending the fleet first on somewhat of a beat out to East Chop. Winds were light out of the ENE at the start of the racing but picked up gradually throughout and the fleet was able to make it around the triangle twice in pretty good time. Despite the slightly marginal sailing conditions, it was nice to see everyone out on the water enjoying this beautiful afternoon. I had fun motoring around and breaking in Vig’s new engine to see the fleet up close around the course. Our results were as follows:
- Zebra - 3:23:01
- Bliss - 3:24:25
- Maitland - 3:26:01
- Campana - 3:26:58
- Penelope - 3:28:47
- Artful Dodger - 3:30:53
- Silhouette - 3:31:28
- Tamu - 3:31:35
- Gloria - 3:36:27
- Bufflehead - Retired
Thanks, and have a great rest of your weekend!
