Fading winds on 2/10

The last race became an exercise in patience

Sundays in 2013 seem to be feast or famine: either we get too much wind to stay upright, or too little to move. Today was closer to the latter, but 4 skippers managed to make their way around the course in dying winds for 4 races. Catherine came away with the day's honors for the second time this season.

Wind: NNE 2-7 knots
Air temp: 37°F
Wind chill: 33°F

Foiled again on 1/27/13

The race committee canceled racing again on the last Sunday of January due to wind gusts of 25 knots combined with wind chill in the teens.
