Light and variable winds notwithstanding, this alleged Frostbite was a real treat weather wise. It was supposed to be another race in the AYC Frostbite Series.
We had an almost completely new crew onboard so we got out on the water early to practice and figure out the various settings for the range of breezes.
Unfortunately, the Race Committee couldn't make up its mind whether to actually have a race. For almost two hours, we sailed around sampling the wind on the course and waiting for a decision of the committee.
But eventually the committee pulled the plug and we sailed back to the dock after what effectively was a lovely daysail.
I will note that something happened that I have never heard before. When the race committee cancelled, one of the race boats called them on the radio and asked them to reconsider. That was followed by a smattering of boats saying "Ditto" on their radios
Then one of the boats in the J-105 class came on the radio and said something like, "We are out here to go racing. Anyone who wants to join us, meet us at marker 7 for an informal start."
The race committee never responded, but once the race is canceled, I don't believe that the race committee can reverse themselves since some boats may have shut off their radios and headed home.
