The fleet rolling out of the harbor
SMSA Frostbites #4, the last race of the season. Another cold, heavy-air day. I took it easy on this race and mostly served as rail meat as Steve makes the transition back to helming his own boat. One of the coolest downwind starts I've ever seen, with the whole fleet charging out of Solomons harbor. Made great time on the first leg, but had difficulty on the long beat to the bridge with our high-cut #3. Did our best to make it up on the return, but didn't score our best finish. A typical late-fall race and a great way to finish out the racing season. Racing was followed by a much-appreciated soup potluck at the club.
