Whoa, dress for conditions!
I think I ended up with 3 layers on the legs, 5 on the central core for the delivery home. 34 degrees and puffs over 15 kn on the nose. 22 knots AW under motor at 6.94 kn.
By the time I got home (40 minute drive) I could actually feel my toes again.
Fun race but I took a nap instead of heading into EYC for chilli and beers. Who needs a beer in 35 degree temps with a 2 hour delivery on the card for later.
We were halfway up the river and I was on outdoor watch when I checked astern and saw a bunch of lights that did not make sense, a true WTF moment. Then I realized it was a Parade of Lights! Prety cool, with fireworks to boot.
All-in-all a fantastic day and thanks to the Incommunicado folks for having a geezer aboard and, for the race, on the bow....
