For the 4th race in the 2nd series of Round Bay Sailing Association's season, we were Race Committee.  Although winds were projected to be 3-5 and dying, they were 4-8 throughout the evening, so we were able to start the race at 6:17 and have the last boat cross the line at a little after 8p.m, with plenty of light left in the evening.  Set the course of A to C to A to V and back to A, but shortened it to V, since the wind was still projected to die.  The wind was unusually even as the boats headed down the course, so they split evenly on port and starboard instead of favoring port, as usual.  Watching them come back to us with their spinnakers in full flower was such a beautiful sight -- which we watched until it was time to head to V and to let the fleet know on VHF that we were shortening the course.  The wind did not die, as predicted, so the boats were able to make it to V, and no one was TLE, though one boat left the course and was DNF.  Another beautiful evening with no rain, and only 75 degrees warm, so it was lovely!
