Flying Scot Midwinter Warm-up Day 2

After the drenching we had Saturday the much improved forecast for Sunday was a welcome change. When we woke up Sunday and peered out the window of the Ericksen 30 sailboat we stayed on it didn't really seem that nice. I slid open the companionway and noticed some mist falling, not really what I had in mind. Kim informed me that it wasn't mist but was, in fact, rain. We discussed this a little while getting ready for the days racing. We all left the dock in a very light northerly and at times I did notice a little rain, but it was a very light rain but enough to put the spinnaker below deck in an effort to keep it dry.

It wasn't too long before some breeze filled in and the first race was underway. The top five from Saturday were busy again claiming the top five spots after a fairly long race with a fading breeze near the end.

The RC attempted a second race after a postponement of an hour or so. With some of the fleet about 2/3 of the way up the first leg the race was abandoned. It was a slow sail back to the club for those who didn't grab a tow.

Awards were given to the top three finishers with first to Allen Terhune 5 points, Leslie Fisher 7 and Jeff Linton 8. Full results are posted on the FSSA home page.

Sorry about the glare, we did not take the setting sun into account for picture taking.
