If you missed last week RR#5 (and a great full moon) we do it again this week! The wind filled in nicely. We had over 57 boats, several I've never seen before!

Enjoy!

I noticed that some of the shots don't come up and some the icons that do don't have shots linked in. Something seems to have been linked incorrectly.
As usual the pictures are great.
Strange. All the photos work now. Must have been on my end. Probably another AT&T screw up.
Thanks Lacy for taking and posting the photo's.

...or maybe it's a nut loose on the keyboard.
--or a short between the keyboard and the seat.
Sunday Flickr was having their issues. I had problems loading but never lost anything but did have that issue a couple of times. It finally cleared up. Of course after I had finished loading!

Well clearly there was a nutty old phart on the keyboard but there probably is not enough spark left for the aroma to have leaked into the net.
The GBCA Supercomputer and Ratings Chicken will be down for maintenance for a week or so, but new ratings will be calculated before RR-7, so no worries.
Here are some of my pictures from Rum Race #6, what a great day on the bay!

More great photos ! Thought I just got the bottom cleaned last week? Thanks for the photo Gary!
Kevin, any chance of getting the finish times for the top five boats in the Club Class? Just wondering what the time spread was. KATANA
Pete or LeighAnn probably can. I'm going to be out of touch for a week or so.
1. Far From Workin 7:49:04
2. Stellar of Course 7:49:54
3. Katana 7:55:20
4. Skalawag 7:56:50
5. Figaro 8:19:05
Leigh Ann
Thank you for the times, your the greatest! :-)
I had been wondering in my my mind if the extra tack I put in cause me first place or not. I beleave not now. Far From Workin can really point that boat up, my shoal draft keel does not point well.
Hopefully RR # 7 will be all down wind and reaches and light!

I Think you got third because of the Santa Claus PHRF rating of 179. Your spin rating is 156 which means you are getting a 23 sec. per mile bonus. This gives you a 5 min. head start.. BUT.. If I had it I'd use it too! Our base is 187 and we're currently rated at 167. We ain't gonna win with this...Also Stellar Of Course flew spin and has a PHRF of 153 (spin) and got rated with a fat 209. That's a 12 min head start for him.. OUCH!!
Lil Bit A Sol finished 19:59:28. Passed to Kevin last Sunday via E Mail. Must have gotten lost. He did acknowledge my e mail.. Sorry for the late info..
The last twenty minutes of the race the wind dropped and I looked into my magic bag and pulled out a Kite, and shifted into high gear! ?Everyone Love?s a KITE? ( and it looks good in the pictures at the finish). Other than that it was non-spin all the way! You really should get a kite. :-)
Terry.. I reached in to my magic bag as well and all I pulled out was a beer.
We did try to fly the spin for the very first time, what a disaster. even broke the whisker pole we tried to use as a spin pole. Not sure we will try that again for a while.
Our PHRF rating is 174 and due our poor performance in the Rum Races we have been rated 209. I guess this will change soon.
The Rum Races have been great fun this summer, hope we can make the final two.

If I get lucky and win a bottle of rum on the next race, I would be proud fill your cup with it at cub. You?re an outstanding sailor and gland there is a club like GBCA that give so many great people and opportunity to get together and fellowship. ?KATANA?
Gotta like that!
