NAC 2012 Race 1 -3

The RC decided to change the schedule so we did 3 races today. The forecast for Thursday and Friday is for highs around 103 to 105. Today was only 90 something and breeze was nice.

So after a relatively short postponement to address some scoring issues in the Qualifying series we got out on the water. With nice wind and no general recalls it didn't take long to knock out 2 races. Sadly, they favor returning to the club for lunch so around 12:30 thats what we did. The next harbor gun would be at 2:30 for a 3:00pm warning, this was widely unpopular with most racers but....

It worked out and we got the 3rd race done and were back in the club by 5 or a little before. All the races were tricky but the third had less wind and seemed trickiest, at least to us. We never had much going and ended up with all three scores in the teens. What can you do, make a little mistake and lose 5 boats.

The Red boat is kicking butt, Kelly is second and The Lintons are third!!

So back to the weather, the start on Thursday has been bumped to 9 am to try to get us off the water before it gets really hot. If it works out there will be 2 races sailed and that will be a series so no sailing Friday. Works for us, we can head south to Florida and cool down.
