To Cruising Fleet Racers -

Only three boats raced this weekend, but we had a whole menu of racing
conditions within two days. On Saturday we had light air with frustrating
holes, but we got in two races. On Sunday, we dealt with the remnants of
Harvey in the morning with pouring rain (aka "heavy at times"), and an
easterly wind that worked its way north, then northwest, then west with a
period of 20 mph+ blasts that had Aeolus withdrawing, Spirit reefed, and
Sheba rock-steady in windy conditions. All in all, it was a good weekend of
sailing.

If you weren't there, we missed you!

Coming up is Sunday racing every weekend until closing day October 15th, and
the HRYRA Last Chance Regatta at Nyack October 7 -8th. See you on the water.
