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
