10-10-09 RACING

by Tom

For those of you that listened to the weather forecasters on Saturday, and did not come out to race, you missed some good races. The wind was moderate and fairly steady. No swirls or dynamic shifts. Bruce won 2 races and Sandy won the other. Those of us that were there also listened to the weather people, and heard them to say it would be 65 degrees. It wasn't. It never got much above 52-55. We, of course, were dressed for 65. It was cold, and we all were pretty cold in between the races. During the races it was ok. Bruce, Sandy, Gary, Dave, Miles and I braved the elements. Burton and Mike S were on duty and not racing and were very cold on the committee boat. I saw them doing gymnastics on the boat trying to keep warm. If we had dressed properly, it would have been beautiful out there.

This is normally great weather for racing. Come on out and enjoy it with us.
