Eight sailors were ready to challenge perfect winds for Solings an a warm sunny day. Jeff trescot had his newly repaired boat back and promptly won the first race. Then it was Joe Murr’s turn to light the burners, which he did, scoring a 3rd in the first race and winning the remaining 6 races to end the day with a remarkable 6 points. Ken took second place and Rich third. Fast paced fun racing! A good day. Phil
An interesting and unusual day! Alas, twas a beautiful Florida morning with a breeze from the NE, and six sailors were ready and tuned for the start of the first race. However, all sort of went downhill from there. Phil won the first race, then retired in the second race with winch trouble. Barney had battery issues in the 3rd race, came back to win the 4th, and retired after the 5th. Bob Brown retired with rig issues after the 4th race. That left Rich leading Al by one point into the 6th race, but battery/receiver issues took him out. Larry and Al gamely matched race the 7th, with Altaking home the Blue Ribbon for the day. Thanks to Joe and Carl for RD duties. Phil
The forcast said light air, and it was right. But 10 took to the water to take the challenge. Robert Brown, Jr. read the shifts perfectly and took 3 firsts and 3 seconds ending with 9 points. Allen Strout was 2nd with 18 points. A challenging day and thanks to all, particularly Roger Smith recovering from back surgery, who with his daughter Christine ably handled the scorekeeping duties.

Seven sailors appeared to race on a beautiful morning. Fleet Captain Bob Brown had the burners on winning 6 of the 7 races, trailed by Allen Strout and Ken Feldbush. Thanks to JoAnn and Carl for scorekeeping and line duties.
