Century Club: Hank Messick

Five knot or less from the southeast. During the 2nd race we had current assisting the downwind leg. We were dead last for all three races. 

Dave, Paul, Carey and me spent the afternoon doing spin hoists/douses in 5 knots of wind on a cloudy day. Tried wing-on-wing with the spin but the breeze dropped so we couldn't determine how effective the  technique could be. 

Not fun

After the last Screwpile race we dropped off the crew, Tom, Greg and me headed to Colton Point. Winds were up to 18 knots on the Bay as we motor sailed  south to Point Lookout and the mouth of the Potomac. Beautiful moonrise as we headed north on the Potomac with the wind abating to 7 knotss from the south. The return trip took about nine hours.
