Thanks again Keith. I'll look into future weekday races as well.

Thanks everyone. We had a great first race. Maybe not in results, but in spirit.

See a Video below:

The race organizers have decided to continue with plans for racing today, based on changing forecasts and diminishing chances of nasty weather, until later in the day, if at all.

With that, Jubilee will be at HHSA A at 9:30.  Listen on VHF 68 for possibility of moving the start to 83A, in accordance with the SI 11.3.

Thanks,
Keith

Great news. I found another crew member, and Nauti-Paws is back in the game.

I'm happy to hear that. I can't tell you how bummed I am. Fair weather crew I selected :(

Steve,

As far as EYC is concerned, if we get one boat to start, they will award a trophy - which is sitting at the EYC Clubhouse.  CBYRA will probably group all PHRF starters together to score High Point, so that is not an issue.

So, to answer your question - yes it will be a race if just you and Cantata race, yes I will be out there to get you started, and furthermore there may be 1st and 2nd Place trophies ... I was not able to confirm that.  Either way I will be presenting to the winner(s) tomorrow afternoon at EYC.

Now, all of this is dependent on the decision that will be made at 0700 tomorrow.  I'll call both you and Mark as soon as I get off that call.  Also, keep in mind that this is a Charity Race, so participation and raising money is for the good of Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.

Thanks,
Keith

Keith,

Bad news. My crew is acting restless, and I've had to call it. Nauti-Paws will just have to wait to race her first race another day. This weather downright sucks.

Nauti-Paws will be there unless they cancel.

Endeavor is now racing Non-spin. Decision based on northerly wind and competition against all you knuckleheads. 

Let’s see what the weather brings and that 07:00 conf call Keith is talking about.

I agree but we are making it an outing, coming Sunday.  I was going on a "cruise" race with a guest.  Sunday looks like rain all day.  If I want to turn someone off sailing for good, I couldn't pick a worse weekend

Let's wait and see what the weather actually is ... look at last night. Forecast was for light winds and thunder storms/rain.

  Amara is leaning towards not going given the forecast. Thunderstorms and rain … meh!

Sailing Instructions Available.

Any chance that someone can grab my skippers bag when they pick their bag up?

If there aren't enough Spin, would you consider moving over to non-spin and racing with us?

Hmmm...

Registered Endeavor for PHRF - Spinnaker from Herring Bay.  I'm very lonely in this class.

Are all other HHSA members registering for their PHRF class starting in Annapolis?  Sure would like us to support the club and do the Herring Bay spinnaker race...

Respectfully,
Steve
