After the disasters of last weekend I half did not expect anyone to show up for Wednesday night May 2, 2007. The wind was easily 22+and the sky overcast. However, turnout was great. We had Jan, Kelli, Rudi again, Clay came for the first time in months, Mark McNamara showed up, Steve, and Robert--back from a successful triathlon campaign. David from Krogen jumped on at the last second.
It was Danny's birthday and he came with Skeeter.
With all that foredeck talent and rail meat I elected for an all sails start. The course was 3p-19p-TH. Things went very well. Steve pointed out that the boat was much faster on starboard tack. I wonder if the mast is not centered or if that cooling shoe is really dragging the boat down that much on port tack. We got the tie-dye spinnaker up in brisk air and had a great ride home. We did not quite hit 9.0 , but came close. Race results are still not available.
After a quick birthday celebration for Danny it home to bed early. That is a optimum outcome of Wed. nite.
