Notes
There was very light NE, creeper, wind that filled in from the right (Jamestown side) as a SW for the during of the race. 16 boats finished out of 17 starting. Amadeus V, Jay Turchetta, was the first boat to finish at 2:02 pm. Sea Lark (O’Day 30), William O’Connell, was the last boat to finish at 5:45 pm. The weather was pretty nice; warm, sun out very nice sailing.
Sunday initially was mild and breezy out of the SW and sunny. Activities were all held outside at Payne’s Dock as usual. Again several boats decided to head back on Sunday due to various work reasons.
Again we had a tremendous turnout for the Bloody Mary contest (9 entries) as well as the hors d’oeuvre contest (8 entries). Brian Clayton was again the MC at the Awards.
The trip back on Monday was in a NE breeze starting out around 12 kts and sunny. We motored all the of the way to Newport.
It was a very good weekend out on the Block. I was in shorts the whole weekend!
