I was asked to be one of the safety boats for this race. It was a very breezy day with a northeast wind gusting over 20. Normally I wouldn't even untie my boat on a day like this! The course was shortened to eliminate crossing the main channel to Middle Ground Light and the expected rougher conditions out there. I anchored just east of R22 which would be the turnpoint. Six boats made it around the course. Four Sunfish, a trimaran and one sloop. It was impressive to see these little sailboats out on a day that I was not happy in my 6 ton Nonsuch!
