It looked pretty dismal sitting at the waterfront waiting for the rain to stop and the wind to pick up. 
But as luck would have it the clouds lightened, the rain eased, and nine RC racers showed up to partake in five races held. So, as we had a brief delay at the start of racing, by 4:15 the boats were in the water. 
The marks were set to accommodate a north wind which actually turned to the northeast by race time. No problem, having all the moored boats out of the way, it was easy to adjust our course and use the mooring balls as marks. Jonathan Gorbold won the first two races, I lucked out by winning the third due to Jonathan having caught the biggest weed patch of the day, then Bill Schmidt in the forth, followed by Richard Mikulec in the fifth. After all the scoring was tallied the big winner of the day was Jay Niggli who, without a win, was able to pull within one boat of Nate Heinzelman who is currently atop the leaderboard. “RESULTS”
I have changed the racing hours for next week to 2-4pm in hopes of giving us better sunlight for the PRO to observe the finish line. It is the last week and tensions will be running high.
See you next Sunday at 2pm off the south dock CYC to determine the final standing for the Fall Series
