We RCed last night. Beautiful weather, steady 7-9 knot NW breeze and a good turn out of 22 boats. Wish we were racing but we had the satisfaction of managing a flawless race.

Carey and I enjoyed the sunny weather and mostly beamy breeze that gusted up 15 knots. Reefed headsail and main worked well hitting speeds of over 7 knots.

Barely any wind at the start but 10 minutes later a steady 10 to 14 knot easterly filled in much to everyone's surprise. RC chose a short, 2.5 NM course because of the light wind. We finished in 26 minutes. Fast and furious!

Carey and I shoved off at noon. First two hours there was no breeze so we motored up to Hains point; drifted; motored some more. Almost three hours later the breeze showed up . . . 3 knots from the SW ! We did do the light air sailing for about a half hour and then the "breeze" faded.

Bob, Carey, Dave, Jeremy and me raced down to Mt Vernon and back. Drizzly weather, light SE breeze which backed about 10 minutes after we popped the chute rounding the windward mark. Slow going but the current pushed us to the finish when the wind would regularly fade to a half knot!

Beautiful weather this afternoon for sailing Arcas. Dave, Carey and me enjoyed the breezy 8-11 knot southerly breeze. Georgetown Sailing Team was on the water too executing long runs up the river. We did a lot of acceleration drills and I played around learning how to optimize new main sheet. Good times!
