Great turnout for the New Year’s race. Had a thrilling run in 16-18 kts with 20 kt gusts. The chase start began with light winds from 030 T, which resulted in arriving to the start line about 3 minutes late. But as we headed south down Hampton River, the wind's began to pipe up and had built to 15 kts once we turned at R4. By the time we rounded R18, winds had strengthened to 18 and backed to 020 T. There was a short period of very light drizzel on this reach. Once we made the turn into Phoebus channel, the Chamberlin wind shadow eased the wind back to 12 kts.
We earned the Anchor Award distinction. Too bad I can’t share this one with the scouts. The Anchor Award is for finishing 18th out of 18 boats.
Officially, we've been sailing every day this year!
A pleasure to sail with our youth crew: Greycen, Jacob, Dylan, Trey, Diamond, and Astanzi. Special thanks to our leaders Shan and Max for providing great skill and leadership during the race.
Hopefully next year we'll be able to enjoy the before and after race get-togethers.
