To All - Do you realize we haven't completed a Sunday race since August 7th? Wow - it's been a long drought. August 14th brought rain and t-storms, August 21st saw no wind, August 28th was Irene, and then we had the Labor Day Weekend. At last the summer heat wave seems to be over, and while a few boats raced at Shattemuc this weekend at a HRYRA Regatta, Zoran and I raced today in a lovely 8 - 10 mph southeaster. Results attached. The only thing we lacked was more company. Wednesday Night racing is over, but there are still five Sundays to race until the end of the season: 9/25, 10/9, 10/16, 10/23 and 10/30. Fall racing can be spectacular with cool temperatures and consistent winds - just like today. Unofficially, without any throw-outs applied yet, here's what I've got for the current standings for the Club trophy(s) this year: Spinnaker A Division Points Otterbein Breakaway 129 Yates Encore 151 Azar Race Riot 153 Wellens J-Ale Time 156 Quinn Feriation 170 Non-Spinnaker C Division Frerichs Journey 92 Dolan Colleen II 145 Yannelli Standish 148 Kent/Saaby Island Lady 160 Coplan Mabel Rose 178 Non-Spinnaker D Division Luce Aeolus 106 Schlanger Odalisque 125 Landers Carte Blanche 186 Kisala Golden Hind 188 Hillman Elektra 193 As you can see, some of the scores are very close. But there's still plenty of time to come out and race if you want to improve your standing. Next weekend (Saturday, Sept. 17th) is the re-scheduled Leukemia Cup Regatta, and you can still register for racing and/or the Saturday Night party at www.wch.lcr.llsevent.org/nbc. This will be the best event of the year, so don't miss out! Incidentally, did you know PhotoboatR will be covering the event? If you want a professional picture of your boat under sail, here is a perfect opportunity. See you on the water. Lee Luce Cruising Fleet Secretary
