Trip length: 
1 day
Type of watercraft: 
Sail

Yet another light air race complete with a big iron wind shadow in the beginning legs of the race.  We got the boat goind and won our class.  We played Cat & Mouse with Mr. White (he'd spotted us a 10 minute head-start) and ended up changing leads with him numerous times.  Finally caugh up to him in the spinn legs up Eastern Bay and we legged out on the beat to the finish.  It didn't matter, the boat was not in our class, but it's always fun to have a boat-for-boat race, especially against two of the Chesapeake's finest. (Don't foget thay INCOMMUNICADO won the LeBrot Trophy about 9 or 10 years ago)
