To All
Its been nearly 24 hours since we raced last night. If you would like a
copy of the unofficial results, please e-mail me.
I guess were all still laughing about last nights race. Race Committee
Chairman Howie Rinehart opted for a quick D-x course when a light westerly
filled in enough to start the race. (Most thought it was probably a good
call.)
Unfortunately, the westerly breeze strengthened and the Group 1 boats were
finishing downwind with their spinnakers flying just as the Group 3 boats
were starting. Lead boat Breakaway finished the race in just under 12 ½
minutes. Oh, my goodness. Even the Americas Cup races are more than 20
minutes!
Afterwards the patio was full and the Snack Bar did a good business on this
warm summer evening with a full moon rising. Hey, on the river ya never
know
.
See you next Wednesday.
