Well was that any good guys and gals last Saturday!  We did get wind, and what a nice surprise the 6-12 knot southerly was that remained pretty square with absolutely no sea to speak of for the entire race!  So what if a little fog refused to burn off, I think everyone had plenty of fun.

If anyone was wondering what we were waiting for with regards to the fog on Saturday – I was hoping that with the breeze the fog may blow out but it just never did!  At times we couldn’t even make out the other end of the starting lineJ

The club has no policy with regards to sailing in those sorts of conditions – so basically it is sail in your own comfort levels.  One thing I would like to point out is that in those conditions you may be sailing under collision regulations which are slightly different than our usual racing rules.  I would recommend that you have your running lights on at all times as that helps to determine right of way, as well as helps out others in seeing you in the fog – remember if you see red – you stop, even if you are on starboard tack vs the other boat!

As committee we lost sight of everyone after 4 minutes of the start.  We were able to follow the boats on the radar though which was kind of neat.

Results are posted and elapsed times in Div 1 and 2 were fabulously close!  And congrats to New Yorker as she has moved up to Div 1 and did very well in her first race there.

The start was great to watch and it seems like guys on Vampire have been practicing as they nailed it – well done DON!

So Vampire is RC for the next race on February 18^th.  See you all out on the water.

I am still waiting on a few boats PHRF numbers, so please get me those before the next race guys.

Cheers,
