Good breeze produced six good races in which we saw many lead changes and very close finishes.

45-50 boats came out for the eighth and final running for the 2014 rum.  A cool northerly breeze 0f 12-20knts presented sailors with a different challenge for the summer series    it felt like fall! Thanks to Steve Zirilli and Drew Peerless for the jambalaya, rice and bread sticks at the after race party.  It must have been great, because again, it was all gone by the time I got there!!!

There have been complaints about boats not turning in their time for the Club Handicap.  It would help if you would publish a web address that we can send them to.
Anyway,  Gemini, sail number 55 had a finish time of 19:50:20 if anyone cares, for the race on 08/23/2014.  Race #7

Would someone get this info to Kevin Box of Chris Dees or whoever is running it this year.

Skippers Scott and Hammond

Read the Sailing Instructions.  Name, phone # and email contact are provided.  Club officers are available at the after race party to accept your time reporting.  Emails are regularly sent from RN to all participants of the Cruising Club, requesting time reporting.  Check your email registration and/or spam box.

This is coming up next week and so far we only have two entrants?  I know there are more women sailors out there.

30-40 boats braved the heat for the seventh running for the rum.  Thanks to Nicole and Swamp Shack for the gumbo at the after race party.  It must have been good.

Let the trash talk begin!

After thunderstorms passed through the area, 45+ boats started the sixth rum run in very light, almost no wind and waited for the sea breeze to fill in.  When it finally did, it was a beautiful evening sail, capped off by a fantastic sunset and full moon rise.  Thanks to Marilyn Horton for the pasta meal at the after race party.
