SEASON FINALE WITH AN AWESOME SUNSET

It was a beautiful afternoon and l looking out over the bay there was at least some wind showing on the water.   At start time, there was an 11-knot wind blowing from 60 degrees.  As is normal with  a light Easterly, a course was called: Start>Blacks>offset mark> S/F>Blacks>Offset mark and finish at S/F.  Both fleets started without incident with Fleet A starting at 5:25 and B Fleet starting at 5:30.

With a great eleven knot wind, the boats beat toward Blacks for the first lap. The first A Fleet boat to complete the first lap at S/F was Double Espresso followed by Pegasus, Watts Moore, Yellow Belly, Ethos and Rosie.  The first B Fleet boat to complete the first lap was Avatar, followed by Gold Rush, Nidaros, Makani, Pair a Dice, Simpatico, Toad, Kicks and Wind Goddess.

The first A Fleet boat to finish was Pegasus 29:54 then Double Espresso 30:55,  Watts Moore 30:55, Yellow Belly 31:44, Rosie 34:12 and Ethos 36:34.  The first  B Fleet boat to finish was Avatar 33:35, then  Gold Rush 34:35, Makani 36:36, Sailing Pair a Dice 37:02, Simpatico 37:23, Nidaros 37:38, TOAD 38:05, Wind Goddess 41:34 and Kicks 41:49. All times are elapsed and the course distance was 2.2NM.

It was great to end the season with at least a moderate breeze.  To top it off we were treated with a beautiful sunset: A SEASON FINALE WITH AN AWESOME SUNSET.

TUESDAY SAILING:

We have a great event with our Tuesday sails.  There is one thing that could bring the whole thing to a grinding halt:  A serious boat accident resulting in damage or serious injuries. There is one thing we all can do to prevent accidents: FOLLOW THE RACING RULES OF SAILING!  By signing up for the series, you have agreed to FOLLOW THE RULES!  Most of us know the rules, some of us know the rules but choose not to follow them.  Tuesday nights are for learning and friendly competition, NOT the place for overly aggressive tactics that could risk damage to boats or even people.

TUESDAY AFTERNOON SAILING:

As I recover from surgery, I will not be able to conduct Tuesday AFTERNOON sailing.  I am hoping to be able to sail after the first of the year.  Watch out for an email announcement right after the first of the year.
