Notes
We had 30 entered. Three didn’t start and one went out early (Sage) even though it was their conditions. 26 boats started and 26 boasts finished.
The weather for the trip to Block Island was 60ish, cloudy and increasing winds of 12 at the start up to 28 by the time we got to Block Island out of the North East. It was a sleigh ride with boats making it out there in around 3 hours.
Payne’s dock was quite empty when we arrived so we were all spread out and had the place pretty much to ourselves. Interestingly but obviously all the boats were facing East due to the wind which stayed until Sunday afternoon.
The rest of Saturday was cloudy. Sunday morning was sunny for the Bloody Mary contest but clouds came in around noon and the winds died down in time for the hors d’oeuvre contest and awards. Cliff Payne let us put the food between buildings to get out of the wind. No one was complaining.
The Patriot’s game was at 4pm so some folks went into town to watch the game but they left too early thinking the Patriots lost due to an interception of Brady and didn’t see the comeback victory by the Patriots with 5 seconds left in the game.
Only a few boats left Sunday (I would assume mostly due to the very strong NE winds). On Monday the wind was on the nose however very light and thus the motor was used by most all the way home (4 hour trip back).
Bloody Mary Contest
Hors d’Oeuvre Contest
It had been very windy so we set up between the buildings to be in the lee of a building. Again a wonderful turnout; it is amazing the participation in this contest.
