Notes
30 of 34 boats started and 28 boats finished with winds out of the S to WSW all the way to New Harbor. It was extremely foggy at start time. We delayed one hour and started. The fog wasn’t much of a problem after the start; well maybe a little for the first starters. The weekend was absolutely wonderful. It was again one of the most wonderful weekend regattas (last year’s was also). Sunday was sunny with light winds and temp in the 70s.
Judy Mitchell held a memorial for Cliff Mitchell (past event organizer of this race from the beginning) at the Block Island Cemetery to which many of the participants showed up for as well as several people who took the ferry out that day.
The ride back was foggy from Block Island to Point Judith with very light winds so most motor sailed all the way back.
