Last night we got the low humidity and the cool temps for sailing. Steady winds blowing 10 knots is something we'll just have to wait for next time. It sure was a nice night to be out there, but that wind was really unpredictable! We were expecting it to die out at any minute, so we set a short course with lots of turning marks.
Congratulations to all the Star sailors who made it out last night. It was no small effort to launch with a broken hoist. Good job remaining calm and working through it. There is still a long way to go, but at least there is a workable solution to get everyone on the water!
Coming in first last night was Dennis Glackin and crew on ReJoyce, Jeff Pevey and crew on Ful Dek, and Jim Ryan Ryan and crew in the Stars. Congratulations for some fast racing! Fluky winds made it quite tricky.

Summer started with some fluky air! Crazy puffs; big headers and lifts; lulls that seemed to stand the boat up: We went for all the variables. But that didn't mean we couldn't get in a nice long race. At 5.4 nm for the PHRF boats, we definitely got to sail. Not bad for summer.
Congratulations to Mike Keene and John Jenkins on Betty Ford for a first place finish. Also doing fantastic was Janet Schilling and crew on Penniless and Jeff Staley and crew on Ostinato.

Yeah Wind!
That was a nice night. I was afraid that it would be hot, but the wind made it quite pleasant. At 5.4 nm, we were able to get in plenty of sailing. We even had a second spin set for the PHRF boats. Good fun!
Congratulations to Willem Rosenberg and crew on Javlin for coming out his first night of the season and getting a win. There is a rumor that he may have had a couple novice sailors on the boat too. Also getting a first was Jay Tyson and crew on Tarris as well as Jim Ryan and crew for first place finishes.
All kinds of inverted finishes last light. PHRF keeps proving to be interesting.

So I'm still working on the sound, but at least we have a video!
At only 2.4 miles, it was a bit of a mad scramble out there. At least we got a few good shots.

The weatherman didn't get that one right! We could see a forecast for rain and storms hitting about 7:15 pm, so we shortened hoping that everyone could get in. Of course, the Bay broke up the storms. We should have known. Oh well.
We did get in a nice short race for the evening. Congratulations to Doug Abbott and crew on Hinesight for a fast race correcting first in the B class. John couldn't make it out, so Doug took over the stick for the evening. Also congratulations to Jim Ryan and crew on the Star class and Jeff Staley and crew on Ostinato for fast races coming in first!
