15 boats came out, a decent showing. West wind varied from 6-10 and we ran from the top of the Severn's Round Bay (mark A) to the bottom (mark C) and back and then over the end of long point (v) where the RC mercifully shut down the race, since the wind was dying. We had a good run to C, but in rounding the mark we, and the other boats there at the same time, all fell into a wind hole and couldn't move much for about 5 minutes before our spinnakers finally filled, by which time the boats that had rounded before us had taken off. Dying breeze as we headed to the last mark didn't help, but it was a glorious evening which was supposed to have a thunderstorm -- but didn't! Came in a disappointing 12th out of 15 starters, but it still was beautiful.
