It was certainly Fall racing on the Chesapeake on Saturday. The forecast was for 15-25 and gusts higher during the little front that was approaching (whenever the man in control had it scheduled!). Cold and rainy all day long. We had 22 entries and only 4 stayed away because of the forecast or lack of crew. After careful deliberation the Race Committee decided they had to try to get a race in before the dogs were blown off their chains. Everyone left the dock and enjoyed a great sail to the Racing area in about 15-20 kts. Only a few of us decided before the race not to continue. Race one was abandoned for the day after 2 legs when the wind rapidly built from 18-22 to over 30 knots. Saturday evening we were treated to a wonderfull dinner at Annapolis Yacht Club. Good food and great stories of the days escapades. Sunday morning brought fairer skies and the wish that the man would have done a better job of averaging the wind speeds. It was quite glassy. After a 3 hour sail to the starting line a southerly was filling in nicely. We had a beautiful race 1.5 mile weather leg, Course 4. Winds were 6-10 kts. This regatta should be on your 'to do' list as the last stop before the Florida circuit. Please think about it for next year. Thank you to Annapolis Yacht Club for doing such a great job. |
