November 5, 2006

After having been completely blown out on Oct. 29,  we had the opposite problem:  light and variable winds finally dying by the end of the afternoon.  Combine that with an extreme full-moon tidal current,  and most of us ended the day drifting backwards down the channel.   Nevertheless, we got in 3 solid races.  Special congratulations to Dave Carlson for being the only sailor to finish the fourth race before the wind died.  Mike Gahan's barbecue and Rose Carney's chowder were excellent, though, and we welcomed many new sailors.
