Brief report:


  • 14 boats registered; 13 started
    Spinnaker course : Jetties, SECHI, Buccaneer, Jetties (90 miles)
    Non-Spin: Jetties, SECHI, Jetties (64 miles)
    1st finisher at 5:30am, 12 of 13 in by 10am

Decent North breeze at the start, lightening up and shift West here at Galveston. I'm figuring the light and flukey offshore forecast held true thru the wee hours, although breeze definitely picked up around 5am onshore.

Will have results up by Wednesday.....sooner if no protests.

It was also a nice race for offshore sleeping. 

Early Sunday morning we were becalmed for several hours at Buccaneer.  We actually went backwards for a while.  Its my understanding that some old phart actually provided musical entertainment as he slept.  Some kind of deep low frequency buzz saw type of song.  Some say it was difficult to tell whether this was him or a nearby whale phart.

Agreed on the sleeper.  We heard the same low rumbling noises on our boat.  I was afraid someone might protest us for starting the motor when it got so loud.   :o

Except for the wind deaths this was a great race.  Beautiful moon, great crew work, smooth Gulfo de Mexico, and, of course, great RC work.

Dwight, thanks for getting us off to such a great start.  Thanks for allowing us radio check in, and thanks for hanging out until we finally finished.

It was, indeed, a beautiful night.

Three minutes and five seconds between first and last finisher (uncorrected) after 90 miles!!!  Sounds like a pretty nifty sail.

Oopsie...  someone should remind me how to read race results....  Especially ones that include days/hours/minutes and seconds.

I'll go hide my head now...
