On July 22nd we contemplated staying at the dock and not racing. The weather was building and a bad storm was getting ready to pass over head with 40kt winds and lighting. We let the storm pass and decided to still head out after hearing that RC was headiong out on station. Turned out that the storm system didnt want us to race that night. They ended up canceling to race and we went back tot the peir. I found a good opertunity afterwards o take my crew out for a beer and wings as a thank you for the great season thus far and for getting us into second place in the last series. All has a great time.
