Beautiful day. 80s. Light and choppy 8-12 from the East going to the SouthEast. The racing started at low tide, with the tide coming in all day. Plenty of boats on the line with some of the tightest racing I've seen here in a while. Going left upwind to get out of the tide was the move early in the day, but by the second upwind leg on the second race, the breeze strenghtened and started shifting right to give the right side of the course the advantage.

The first race, we started in the middle of the harbor, raced to a drop mark near the Deer Island Shore, downwind to the Green channel marker near spectacle, 2x, finishing on a beat where we started. The fleet was really tight with nearly everyone claiming the lead at some point during the race. Made inside overlap at the mark roundings crucial.

The second race was roughly the same course with the breeze shifting slightly SE, and a finish all the way to windward. Art Housman and Tom Donnelly launched themselves at the start and lead wire-to-wire. The rest of the fleet was packed together in a fierce fight for second.

Ken Allen and Luke Buxton sailed fast in their first fleet series races of the season to win the day.

Thanks Dan and Jim for two great courses.
