Rum Runners Regatta

Out racing the Meatball today for the Rum Runners Regatta. The event is a fun distance race inspired by the escapades of Capt. Bill McCoy and his efforts to sell alcohol during Prohibition. Light, fluky condtions prevailed for most of the race, and the progress we made over a great start and large initial lead were slowly eroded by the halfway point. We maintained a great second half, and finished third in fleet. A fun day on the water, and an enjoyable challenge to do some random course racing instead of the usual windward/leewards I usually do on the boat.
