| Even though it was in the midst of a holiday week we still had nine boats
turn out which was pretty darn good. We had great conditions with no fog and decent wind. The course was a bit skewed due to a wind shift and I managed to score an awesome port-tack start on the fleet. Unfortunately I was severely punished on the next start when I tried it again and got flushed to the back when fleet collectively said, "Oh no you don't!" and the Vanguards passed through on their second lap burying me at the start. But that's ok, I got a photo (below) of the whole fleet behind on starboard for the one time it did work! ;-) Working out the timing between the fleets was a bit of a challenge for the RC and there were a few more times when we converged at inopportune moments but no major mishaps. Special thanks to Ralph & KT & Mike contributing to the post race hospitality. I think we maintained the fleet's honor even though it seems that most of the Vanguard sailors didn't figure out the concept of the Mojitos until late in the evening. |
