It was another beautiful late summer’s day with temperatures in the low seventies, a gentle breeze, and a receding tide from a high at 10.17.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nine members brought their boats to race on the course set by Paul. A more unusual course this morning owing to the wind from an easterly direction, actually the wind had such fun with us on Tuesday that it decided to do it again! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The start line was formed by the drone buoy and the orange\/blue mark. Out to blue, then green\/white, and back to the line all taken to port. After the first race, the course was lengthened to include going west to the red\/white mark after the blue and also taken to port. For race four onwards the start line was changed to the orange\/white mark, as before, but with the yellow\/red mark forming the other end. The drone buoy drifted off in a huff!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We held eight races today and, with these challenging conditions, had six different winners: Fokka and John won two each, and Bill David, Nick, Kim, and Henry were the other winners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the end of the event, Fokka emerged as today’s champion with 19 points just two ahead of our runner-up, Henry<\/strong>. There was a three-way tie for third place on 25 points but John<\/strong> prevailed over Nick and Bill through the tiebreaker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Judy kept score and looked after the starts once again. Thank you, Judy. Connie was also there to support Al and, as usual, had her camera with her. We had a welcome visit from Jim Kelly who has recently recovered from Covid. Stay well, Jim<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The full results are on our website mhbmyc.org<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well, the year has gone by quickly and we only have two more race days in the season. The next one is Thursday, September 12th when the tide will be coming in towards a high at 3.28 pm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now for the ANNOUNCEMENTS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Pot-Luck Awards Banquet <\/strong>will be at 6 pm onSunday, September 22nd<\/strong> in the Great Room of the Village clubhouse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please let me know if you will be attending<\/strong>, and we hope you will.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This will help with organizing as we will ask you to bring food while wine and beer will be provided by the club. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last week I asked who would not be attending and I only got two replies. This week, I’m asking who WILL<\/strong> be attending. Thank you for your cooperation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We will pull the marks and store the rowboat on Thursday, September 26th at 10 am Rob will lead the effort, but volunteers will be needed.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Have a wonderful, summery weekend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Derek<\/p>\n\n\n\n
