Blue skies, 80 degrees, aqua water and an 8-12 knot easterly. Since the wind was good we sailed near Compass Island to set up the race course. We ended up with 7 boats when the Plessners joined us on the course. Mike Richardson was also out there with his crew Kirk. Come on Scott. We want you out there!
Shifty and dying winds made for lots of lead changes and really close roundings and finishes- too close at times. I believe there was some contact out there! After a 180 degree shift with a nice sea breeze, we readjusted the course and had two more races in good wind for a total of 5 races.
Great Day was had by All.

After racing we all cleaned up and met for dinner at the Mandarine Ivory Chinese Restaurant. They set us up in our own room. I guess they thought we were a bunch of roudy sailors. Good food, good water (even the Kelly's didn't order beer), and good discussion. Hank joined us for dinner. He skipped the sailing because of bad back pain. We missed you and Bob on the course.
