HOLY COW!! We finally got some racing in!
3 good races, one marginal race in a dieing breeze.
We were awakened at 4:00am by a horrendous thunder/lightning storm, and more than one of us thought, "Oh, no, here we go again." It cleared up, though, and the parking lot was full of folks either packing up, or getting ready to sail. Most of the boats went out, we thought we would need a tow, but as we cleared the harbor, we discovered we were actually sailing. The RC had a bit of a challenge with the wind, but set a course, and they started our regatta. All races W/L twice around. They lasted slightly less than an hour and the time limit allowed for 4 total. (Half of the regatta in one day!)
The sun came out, it warmed up, we recognized Louisiana again. More later.
