Schedule-wise this was the lightest day of the week since we only needed to get one more qualifier race in. There was a nice breeze left over from Monday, so we had no delays. Most crews were prepping for heavy air but by the time the signal sounded it had dropped to under 10. The first group started clean and the second did the same with only a slight delay between signals. The two fleets became one which made the RC's job of scoring everyone a little tricky. There were big packs of boats finishing at nearly the same time. UGH!
The gang from Florida seems to make the cut for the Championship Division which is a releif to all. You never know about these things. As of now we have not actually seen the results but we think we know...
The best place to get results is fssa.com.
The rest of the day was pretty much filled with beer drinking with a little diversion in to the town of Carlyle. An interesting little place.
A bunch of the sailers rented lakeside cabins and they got together to host a party. What a sweet arrangement, a nice elevated bluff with a great view out over the lake.
So tomorrow starts the real racing and rumor has it they may attempt to get 3 races in instead of just 2. The weather forecast for Thursday and Friday is HOT, depending on the source they are calling for highs between 102 and 106. Yike! So the idea is to avoid some of that heat.
Out.
