Notes
Pictures posted to facebook by Bill Shea from the Race Committee boat.
We had 21 boats start in a NW wind which held the whole way! Most of the boats went wing on wing on starboard tack until 1BI where we had to jibe and still do wing on wing. Another fast ride to New Harbor, Block Island. All the boats made it to Block except Illusion who had a problem with a rock by Pt Judith and returned to Newport.
Judy Mitchell was present a couple of times which was wonderful.
The ride back on Monday wasn’t the predicted 80 degrees and sunny however the wind was in fact out of the SW. It was pretty cool though and we had a couple of sprinkles.
Bloody Mary Contest
We had 1 entry: Paradise – so they won with out question! It was good though.
