Wednesday: Twilight’s Race 4
A lovely evening presented itself and a fleet of 42 hit the water. With 10-12 knts of southerly wind a course was set, unfortunately the wind did not hold out as expected which meant that the pursuit fleet could not make it round. Having said that it was a beautiful night for a sail and a great turn out for the dinner. I still want to hit 50 boats so maybe this week we can make it
