Becky's photos from Rum Race 7. https://www.flickr.com/photos/lacyphotos/sets/72157657971738245 Sorry we did not make the party, but this is the first Full Moon we got to see from the boat this year and could not miss it. Great crew and a fun time on the bay. Hopefully Missy video out this afternoon!
Enjoy!

Patience Ron.  Your one second per mile correction may get posted by Saturday morning.  It appears we have an absentee fleet captain.

You guys need to learn how to race with your regular PHRF numbers.  Makes you better sailors.

This weekend is the last of the GBCA Cruzan Rum Races. Ben and Carolin Miller of BM Boat Works are sponsoring Pizza! Hopefully the weather will hold and we will have a "dry" finish. Of the five classes that are racing, three classes will be determined this weekend. Remember, You must be a GBCA Senior Member in order to receive overall prizes (1st,2nd,3rd)! Come out and enjoy some pizza courtesy of BM Boat Works! The new GBCA Club rating should be posted soon.

Have the Cruising Club handicaps been updated? Will the current Handicaps be used for Rum Race #8?

Yes, the ratings have been updated for CRR8. What is online at the time of race is what you get to use.

Good luck.
