Hats off to Terry B. for putting this shade screen together for us - man did we need it
A bit of an issue with their spinn set let us foot out from a competitor in our class
thanks to David Furman for taking a ton of photos
There was breeze! It looked a little unlikely they'd get this race off, and they postponed the start for about 40 minutes. So we had the traditional Chesapeake bob n' bake for a while. Thank goodness for the shade screen and putting it up immediately pissed off the wind gods.
And the NWS was right and sure enough, a decent sea breeze showed up and by noon we were off. The RC reloaded their course boards to get a shorter race in, but they really didn't need to, we were finished a few minutes after 1 pm.
Well, ya never know, so there's no blame to he assigned. It's racing on the bay (or river, in this case) and it you aren't used to it by now, well then there's little else to be said. Great time at MYC post-race with a ton of food and beverages.
