This week's Tuesday night races looked like they were not going to happen given the weather forecast and dead calm conditions at 5:30 p.m. Shortly after postponement at 6 p.m. we had a fairly steady light northeasterly filling in, allowing us to get things underway at 6:15 p.m.
Ten boats were on the line. Boogie T.Y.P. won the evening with a third and a first. Welcome back to Rick Tonks, who came in second. Third was Rob Haile/ESP and fourth was one of our newer members, Todd Lalumiere, in Joy Robber.
We had a shortened course in the second race. To review, a shortened course is always at a turning mark that the boats would round as part of the race. We made two sound signals and hoisted an S flag on our race management boat anchored outside the windward mark so as to finish boats as they passed the windward mark to port.
Thanks again to Dave and Mary for their help on the committee boat. Those two are a big help!
