To All - I think the weather scared away a lot of racers tonight, but the conditions weren't that bad. Rainy? Check. Cool? Check. Windy? Check. But the wind held nicely from the north/northeast, even though some nasty lifts and headers on the upwind leg caused many extra tacks. Thanks to Howie and Bob Shoemaker for setting everything up, and a big congratulations to John Michael and his crew in Spirit for taking line honors. What a sight with his huge spinnaker barreling down on the finish line! Wow, that's one big boat. Wednesday Night race results are posted on the white Leader Board on the patio, and we'll get the final results published with throw-outs within the next couple of days. If you missed a race because you had Race Committee or Race Patrol duty for the Cruising Fleet, please let me know. You should be assigned your average score. That does it for Wednesday Night racing for 2017. Hope you all had fun. There's still a lot of Sunday racing left for the Fleet championship, and the HRYRA Last Chance Regatta will be October 7th/8th. See you on the water. Lee Luce Cruising Fleet Secretary PS The Cruising Fleet is responsible for hosting the monthly meeting tomorrow evening, September 7th. Please let John Michael or Morris Azar know if you can help out in the kitchen, serving, or for clean up afterwards. And don't forget that Sign-up for NBC Winter Storage is from 6- 8 pm tomorrow night before the monthly meeting.
