Can it be June forever? Another Sunday, another 12-14 knots, another just perfect sunny June J-22 Sunday. Our fabulous race committee has proven they can get off races very well. The first gun was right at 1:30 as usual, we sailed 5 very nice 1.5 mile races, looked down at our watch and it was 3:30! Uncle!!!!! In all seriousness the consensus is to stretch the course out a bit more next week, and we will add a 10 min water/rig tune break after the second race as well. Phew!
The Don't Tell Mom team took right off where they left last year with 5 straight bullets! Ho hum must be boring up there... you missed all the action in the cheap seats Dave! Back in the "pack" only 4 points separated 2nd from 5th (and there was almost a 3 way tie for second)! Racing was very tight all day with one mistake meaning you just got passed by somebody. In almost every race last place was within 10 boat lengths of the top boats. And of course what would a windy Sunday be without a Maxwell overboard drill to boot (rumor has it).
5 boats was a nice (still early) turnout. "I'm NOT going to let the 22 run my life...." meant one boat got left on the dock this week, but we know they will be back next week! Two more boats go in this week with maybe a third, so we are getting to that 10 boat day soon! For those of you who have not made it yet, you've missed more sailing so far then we did in all of June last year! For those who want to try and get out please email me. We will find you a boat or a ride!
See you all next week. Gary and Wes say, "There will be free beverages and chips at the Wad club after sailing next week." Please stop by for post race merriment's and boat drill downs.
