Not ME! You know I brag evertime my engine actually starts so you would have been the first people I told! But this is a question Rick and I often wonder about and I forget to ask (or John tells me and I forget from season to season!). Is it engines off at the first horn (10:50) or engines off 10 minutes before the first horn (10:40)?

It was our crew's understanding that the rule within the club is "engines off" 10 minutes prior to the first horn. Based on radio traffic, there seemed to be a bit of confusion. I know the Recovery was at the start line with us at 10:40. There is no question that we are in a club with fair and honest sailors. If any of the racers listed below had your engines on after 10:50, I know you will withdraw yourself from the race. I hope we can clear up the confusion before the official scores are made. In kindest regards, Anam Cara Crew -----Original Message----- From: gpsbug-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To: gpsbug@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: 8/27/2005 3:55 PM Subject: [gpsbug] Results of First Race Unofficial results of race 1 are on the website. Rebecca J 1, Recovery 2, Anam Cara 3, Alexis 4, Windrus 5, So Yankee 6, Odyssey DNF. After drifting over the starting line, and wondering if I'd be lynched, after about half an hour, the wind filled in and we had a decent race. I hope you all took time to notice the dolphins playing along the Rescue shoreline, and the ominous waterspout that popped up over Fort Eustice as we were finishing. Hope you all have a great Labor Day weekend, we're going saiing on the Rapahannok (or however you spell it). See ya week after. John
