February 14 racing was cancelled due to icey conditions - especially on docks
February 28 - Five of us headed out on J105 Break Away with Richard Hinds at the helm. it was drizzling and overcast and yet visibility was okay. By the time we were under sail in Spa Creek and in the area of the start it started to rain harder. We waited for the RC to appear to set up the course and yet we didn't see any AYC powerboats. We did see the SSA Powerboats and the Lasers were preparing to race.
We then heard on the radio that the RC planned to wait 45 minutes to see if the weather improved. AP - postponement. These signals came from AYC itself - we still didn't see the RC or any powerboat out. Ultimately the RC determined that they would cancel racing for the day and we headed back to the dock. This after sailing around in the rain for about an hour. The visitbility wasn't that bad and the Lasers were racing. Ah well.....
So frostbiting in February for me didn't pan out that well.
