A damp foggy morning brightened a little, and, with no racing last week, and 10 mph SSW winds, seven members were lured to the cove. Kim and his wife, Pat were on the return journey from their adventures in Iceland and Louis and Cindy had told me they would be on holiday. I had family staying with me so my part was just to get the starter and score sheet to the shore. The event was in the capable hands of Judy and Connie. Thank you both very much.

The tide was coming in towards a high at 1.44 pm and the start was formed by a red buoy and the pin and off on a typical course for winds from the south. (I wasn’t there). The temperature was a muggy 78 degrees, the boats were moving well and there were six races.

My interpretation from the scoresheet is that there was some close racing with Fokka and Rob winning three races each. They also had two second place finishes each, and even a fourth place each, so it was a classic tie but Fokka gets first place today because he won the first race. Is this right? Protests on a $10 bill, please.

Bill David with his new boat was consistent with four third places,and that put him third overall today.

Nick had two second place finishes. but had mainsail control problems for the final two races pushing him down to fifth place, tied on points with Al.

Wes finished in fourth place by virtue of his one third place and two fourth place finishes. Mike tailed the field, but, like everyone else, was pleased to be back on the water racing at last.

The results are attached and these, and all the news, can be found on our website, mhbmyc.org

Racing continues next Tuesday, July 8th when the tide will be low at noon from a high at 07.00

Enjoy the July 4th festivities, parades, and family time,

Have fun,

Derek
