Week two of the 2007 spring series got started with eight boats on the line. The crew from Drumbeat ran the Lindsey Lord and chase boat (courtesy of Justin Andrus) with assistance from crew for Glass Slipper and other friends of the fleet. Thank you, all! The line was set south of Clapboard Island and we got two races in for the evening with a rare northerly breeze which shifted east and diminished as the evening progressed.
VooDoo had a stellar evening, taking second in the first race and a bullet in the second race to move past Schadenfreude as top in the overall standings. It seems the VooDoo crew has learned a thing or two from the hot shots over the winter. Schadenfreude had a difficult beginning, with a failing backstay and a DNF, but recovered nicely with a second for the second race. Nicole and the smoke-free T.Y.P. had a strong showing, taking two thirds tonight. The newbies on Tango continue to dance beautifully with the top half of the fleet. Nice work, Pam!
The evening came to a close back at PYC commiserating with the fleet and getting ready for the next race. Is it Tuesday yet?
