Half dozen boats ignored dire weather forecasts of 30 knot gusts and torrential rains spawned by Ian's remnants to race down to Mt Vernon and back (9 NM). Winds were 9 to 14 knots with gusts just over 20 knots. A couple of light showers kept things moist but didn't impair visibility.
We took second.
