2011 GBCA Rum Race #6 (8/20)

ChrisK · August 16, 2011, 06:26:12 AM

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!

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.

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.

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!
