Thunderstorm predicted on radar for 5:45, so the Round Bay Sailing Association wisely postponed our normal start time from 6:15 p.m. until the thunderstorm threat passed. We all assembled off Long Point, but there wasn't enough wind to start for about 15 minutes. There were 3 mph when RC started the sequence, but once our start took off, the wind died back. We moved forward about .7-1.1 mph for about 20 minutes, not getting very far from the starting line as the next two waves of boats joined us in the race -- and not moving much. We started with the wind on the North, but it moved to West after a short bit, and eventually filled in from S, so we put up our spins and finally made it to the original windward mark, going downwind. A bizarre race, but our Harbor 20 had line honors, which has only happened once before in the 5 years I've been racing here. I'm now just hoping for a finish in the top third of the fleet once the handicapping math all gets done. Pretty cool, though, for us to end up looking back from the finish line at all the spinnakers coming at us!
