A TYPICAL WINTER SAIL

As is usual for our winters, predictions were for a light breeze.  It was quite a surprise to see an 8-12 knot breeze from 220 degrees.  Despite mechanical issues with one of the four participating  boats, a race was initiated even though it was late. The course was called: Start to Mile and finish at the harbor entrance.  The five minute horn was blown at 3:35 for a 3:40 start.  All four boats got off to a clean start. 

The first boat to round Mile was Avatar, followed by Kicks, Big Mac and Rosie.  After rounding Mile, all boats sailed in a tight group towards the finish at the harbor entrance.  Avatar was  first to finish 28:22 followed by Kicks 29:44, Big Mac 30:22 and Rosie 31:05.  All times are elapsed and the course length was 2.45 NM.

With a light 8 knot breeze and a sunny day, it was just another  TYPICAL WINTER SAIL.
