Today's racing was delayed by a thunderstorm headed right down the Patuxent that threatened the whole fleet as we were getting ready to get off the dock. We packed back up and held, and other than some gusty winds the storm never made it to Solomons. We got off the dock about an hour late, and headed out for a short race in light air. We sailed a nearly flawless upwind leg, and found ourselves lacking in breeze at the top mark. We headed back down, and couldn't quite hold off Woo Hoo, but managed a very close third. Great to get out and race when we got so close to cancelling.
