The weather remained uncertain all the way through the first race. Storm clouds brewed on the horizon but fortunately hugged the middle neck and eventually sent a nice breeze our way. Given the light wind conditions the first race unfolded in slow motion but provided an excellent opportunity to study the wind and current patterns. Those who called the wind and current correctly got to the finish line first!
In the first race, Radio Flyer (CJ Carter and Jane Parker with coach Tom Watkins) came from behind to snatch first place followed by Venturi (Sabina German and Stephanie Chaufournier with coach Gary Hooper) and Ty Affair (Pat Julian and Danielle Kuper with coach Mike Kennedy).
Just as the winds picked up to a nice steady breeze, Radio Flyer withdrew due to other more exciting social commitments leaving the other two boats in a match race. Pat Julian and Sabina German were on the helm for the first time. Venturi came in first followed by Ty Affair.
