Yeah! Another season in the books!

It was quite pleasant out there last night. Just a little cold, but that was fine. We're not complaining as long as there is wind. Thanks to everyone who dressed up last night for our annual Costume Race. We'll be choosing the "Best Dressed" award based on last night's dress.

Congratulations to Charlie Barranco and crew on Tarris for a first place finish in B class. Also coming in first in the Stars was Peter Bruns and Owen Lyons on Ithaca. And a great finish to the season coming in first in A class was Jeff Staley and crew on Ostinato. Great job everyone.

I'll have some season standings here in the next day or two. Continue to send in those MOB notices.

MOB drill?

Did you do your Man Overboard Drill yet?  It's the last week to get it done.

Once you do your drill, send me an email and I will score you as completing the MOB.

Here is a great video on how to do a proper man overboard drill from SailVision. (thanks SailVision) They're not around anymore, but the video is a good demonstration. For example, don't put a person in the water to drill - why not use a jug?

Hope to hear from you soon!

Normally we don't like to stay out that late, but the sunset sure made it worth the extra time on the water. It sure was dark coming back in after the races, though!

Congratulations to John Hines and Doug Abbott on Hinesight for a first place finish. Also congrats for coming in first to Jeff Staley and crew on Ostinato and John Jenkins and crew on Betty Ford.

Caroline says Hi!

Far more wind out there last night than was predicted by the weatherman! Just a nice night to be out there on the water enjoying the sailing. With fall just a couple weeks away, we should see some good racing as the season starts to wind down.

That sunset is very early now. Remember that next week we are starting 20 minutes early. The warning for the Star class will be at 5:45pm. The sunset next Wednesday will be at 7:25pm, so we will need every minute.

For PHRF boats, make sure you make the position of the weather mark on your GPS when you go by. The Committee Boat will be close to there for the finish. If it gets too dark to see the Committee Boat, you will have your GPS waypoint to help find us. Also running lights - turn them on when the sun goes down!

Congratulations to John Jenkins on Betty Ford for fast racing in the Star Class. Also racing fast last night was our usual suspects - Ostinato and Ful Dek. Good job!
