Week 16 - August 18, 2009

What a beautiful evening. 90+ degrees and a 5 mph wind from the south to start. Key words...to start. We set an AC course south of Middle Island with A mark to the West of Rabbit Island. We chose a SACAF course as it was pretty nice. We had a nice 4 to 7 mph wind to start and Jim nailed it tacking to starboard right at the line at the whistle. About half way up to A mark, John got past Jim in one of the tacks. Craig brought Gunner out and he started howling. Jim caught back up with John and snuck inside him at the A mark. John followed Jim back down and around C mark while Craig stopped off at the committee boat to pick up Gunner and the wind began to slow. Again about half way up to A mark, John got back in front of Jim and then the wind completely shut down. On the way back to C, Jim through in the towel or needed the towel after jumping in the lake to cool off. At least the rain stayed away.

Results are:

John; 1=1

Jim; 2=2

Craig; 3=3
