We didn't like the idea of footing against the remaining ebb through the lee of Angle Island so went clock wise. Other than that we really thought it was a wash without any clear choice. The difference was that there was not much of a lee going to the straits and good tide through it- then the hot angle to the finish from Alcatraz. As it was we were nearly bow to bow with boats that went the opposite way! A fun race and the best kind of end to a race with a big choice like that! Will

:: Dave,
::
:: It was a great weekend. I think there were a few new
:: boat owners out which is great for the fleet.
::
:: Motorcycle Irene actually went around clockwise and only
:: finished a couple of boatlengths behind us (CCW), while
:: Witchy Woman (also CCW) finished a couple of boatlengths
:: ahead of us.
::
:: I can testify that there was no "big thinking" on our
:: boat. We felt that CW was better for current through
:: Raccoon Straits, but we weren't that excited about a
:: long beat to Alcatraz. So after going back and forth
:: many times we decided on CCW about 5 minutes before the
:: start. It was more of a lucky guess than a well thought
:: out plan.
::
:: See you on the water.
::
:: Dan

::
:: :: 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?

::
:: :: Wile E Coyote 14
