Arcas passing through the Nonspin fleet
Easy sailing
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!
Stormed hit about 10 minutes into the race. All boats heeled extremely but no one fell into the water.
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!
Trimmed a bit to hard
A breezy day, 8 to 16 knots from the SSW. Carey, David, Paul, Brendan, myself onboard.
