Another hot but less humid morning, but still with traces of the Canadian wildfires in the atmosphere, greeted seven members at the cove today.

Judy kept score once again, with thanks from everyone. Ace photographer Connie was also there, hoping to record Al’s exploits. It was good to see Paul Mercer, who made a welcome visit, but without a boat. We also welcomed Andy David, Bill’s and Judy’s son, who took control of “00” now and again.

With the strengthening breeze from the northeast, the starting line was from a diagonal relative to the shore, formed by the DroneBuoy and the pin. From there, the course ran northwest to the red mark, then south to the blue mark, both taken to port. Once around for the first race, then twice around for the remaining eight races. Paul used a klaxon to call attention to infringements at the start line. Thanks, Paul.

There were four different race winners this morning: Nick and Fokka won three each, Bill won two, and Greg won one.

Bill had four second places and two third places to become today’s Champion. Runner-up was Fokka, with Greg in third place just ahead of Nick.

There were a couple of disputes today that got a little heated. A gentle reminder: this is a friendly club specializing in fun!

The full results are on our website, mhbmyc.org and attached to this email.

After racing, we adjourned to Aidan’s Irish Pub in Bristol for a Club lunch and meeting.

An email on the meeting will follow Tomorrow.

DF95 racing resumes next Tuesday, August 12th, when the tide will be.very high at 11 am.

In the meantime, be happy, stay calm, and enjoy whatever you do.
