Not much wind, but maybe just enough

Island Tour - Paynes Dock

Yet another cool, grey morning. This time with little or no wind. The forecast calls for light northerly breeze this am with a light southerly late this afternoon. That should be interesting.

Chris is out fishing with skipper now, and they will be picking Deb up later to watch the racing (if there is any)

BTW - I hope its the economy, but this place feels very very empty this year. Champlins for example has empty spots at the dock. I feer that there may be something else at work here. So many boats are mass produced one designs that we see everywhere we sail. The boat show aspect is almost totally lacking, and that makes the event seem less special than it has in the past. I suspect that STC needs to come up with some new ideas in order to make this a "must do" event for some of the custom boat programs.

More later from the boat!

Two Sevens

Grey hazy light air day. Ended with two sevens but spent most of the day doing better than that. Wrong side of a twenty degree righty in race 1 and misc small mistakes in race two all added up.

Good day and a happy boat!!

Good 2nd race in about 18 knots of wind. 5th??

Now in postponement after two starts that ended with boats over early
and rc hoisting AP at the start?? Why not just recall the boats over
and let us race?? And why the postponement rather than a general
recall???

The skippers and crew of 35 Richmond Yacht Club boats were greeted by perfect sailing conditions yesterday for the first race of our 2009 four race intra club series. Winds ranged from 0 to almost 20 knots and we think we saw every possible wind direction during the race.

Great time had by all!!
