The first day of
racing was under cloudy skies, with winds 8-12 knots and rolling and
choppy seas. For fear of forecasted light air to come, the race
committee chose to hold four races today. The first two went off
without a hitch, but then a few breakdowns caused delays- nothing
disastrous, just minor breaks. Then all of the races were able to be
completed.
Most impressive was
Area G (Vicki Sodaro, Stephanie Wondolleck, Karina Vogen Shelton, and
Emily French) who took a commanding lead in the first three races
with three bullets. Another impressive finish was from the team from
H-W (Jennifer Warnock, Bridget Shear, Catherine Greenlee, Lugene Simeona)
who led race three until the last windward mark, giving Vicki Sodaro a
run for her money.
All racers
have split sides going upwind only to come together at the windward
mark. All the teams have been competitive. The PRO, Marcia
Everingham, has done a wonderful job along with her expert crew
from Edgewater Yacht Club. Nancy Zangerle has done a great job with the
on shore duties and everything is running smoothly.
After a chilly day
on the water, the chili dinner was a warm relief. All the ladies went
home tired and ready for another day on the water tomorrow. |
