Hi,

It was great to be out there with you all this weekend. It was my first race with the fleet and we got many warm welcomes out there on the course. Thanks for making us feel at home!

So, who went which way on Sunday? I know I went the wrong way (clockwise), along with a few others. Was the big gap between 37 and 80 the CW/CCW split?

Witchy Woman 13 Wile E Coyote 14 Motorcycle Irene 18 Great White 30 ERGO 35 Salty Hotel 37 

---- split??? ---
Desparado 80 Light'n Up 88 OPA 89 Express Way 90 Attack from Mars 97 (CW) TAZ 107 (CW) Kilibri 116 (CW) STREGA 127 (CW) Archimedes 132 (CW) Dianne 183 (DNC)

What was the big thinking in CCW? No sailing deep angles to the finish?

Cheers, Dave
