A great race & day! Warm weather, plenty (!) of breeze (~15-25 kts), & a heartening number of boats to start the year. Having no finish times, as best as I could tell from my vantage at the rear of the fleet and with some trepidation the finish order was:
1) Recovery 2) S2 (Mark Swart) 3) Odyssey 4) Tranquillity 5) Wind Rush II (Pls let me know if any revision is required)Rest, relax, get some honey-do's out of the way and start planning for the Spring series(more to follow).

As we anticipate the inaugural race of the season & imminent new resolutions, it is well to remember the provident, even prescient, words of a well known local seer/gray beard. To paraphrase: what you do on New Years Day you will do oft throughout the year!
The race's first gun will be at 1300 local (1:00 PM) & 1310 start by GPS. Monitor Channel 71.
It's time to break the boats free of their bonds to terra firma & exercise the skippers & crews. (There's always room for more crew!)
Come out & celebrate the New Year & lengthening days. See you out there! Steve Wind Rush II Cell 377-7498Caution: Handicaps may be adjusted (up or down?) based on conspicuous quantities of seasonal decorations!
