Swage from the kid's school makes a perfect prod plug
Left high and dry
nice evening...for something
Man, some days the NOAA forecast is spot-on, some days it's from Outer Space...
Wed morning, I was a little concerned b/c the Fx was for 10-15 gusts to 20 and I knew we were shorthanded, meaning the boat would be on her ear all evening and it would be wet outside of the cockpit. Well, there was breeze earlier, but like that really attractive person you dated in 1977, each squall brought in some level of optimism and excitement, but soon departed and left you absolutely nothin.'
It was super light. But major MAJOR props to the the MRSA RC for getting a race in.
They didn't shorten exactly according to the RRS, but hey come on, it's Wednesday Night and live with it. Someone took offense to the tactics the RC adopted on the fly, and had to mention over VHF that it wasn't exactly kosher. And yeah, they were right, but they lost any sort of moral victory.
Fact is, the "racing" was painful and folks were happy to cross the finish line.
Nice night otherwise and I did get a little "boat work" in, prior to MRSA.
