To All - Well, maybe we should do this every Wednesday night. In case you missed it, the Turkey Race was really fun thanks to our Race Committee Howie Rinehart, et. al. The wind came up from the northwest just before the start, everyone had a broad reach of one mile to mark C, and a beat back to the finish. The staggered starts caught some unaware, but others were right on the line at their start times. There must be some awesome photographs of this race as everyone headed downwind at once! First to round the leeward mark was Joanne Smolen in 50/50, followed closely by Matt Schlanger and Caleb Davison in Odalisque. As advertised, the first to cross the finish line after the one mile beat back - won. Our winner, Dave Otterbein and his crew in Breakaway, received their 12 lb frozen turkey, and Dan Blitzer, in Solar Wind, accepted his last place chicken with good grace. We hope everyone had a good time and, once again, thanks to Howie and his Race Committee. Let's hope we've started an annual thing to end Wednesday Night racing. Lee Luce Cruising Fleet Secretary
