Events:
Distance or point-to-point race

Greg, Dean, Tommy and Joey crewed. Made the right choice on which lighthouse to go to first, but we chose to go inside Hampton Bar- initially it looked like the fastest route since ther would be less current than in he main channel, but the wind died as we approached Middle Ground Light and it died as we attmpted to round the lighthouse, picked back up again right after we rounded, and had good wind going to HRBT island. It started to die as we paased the island and stayed under 7n knots until we arrived at Thimble Shoal Light, where the wind disappeared for half an hour but fortunately we had the current in our favor and rounded that ligjht with no problem and the wind picked p on the final leg going to Mill Creek. We placed 3rd in ORC.

Charity regatta/race

Started off in good wind and had a great start, once past the CBBT the tide changed and wind began to lessen and the effects of an adverse tide began to imoact us along the Virginia Beach costline. We finished last. Dead last. Very disappointing race considering the good start we had going to the Bridge Tunnel.  JD, John, Ryan, MarryAnne, and Tommy crewed. Got deluged by a cold, hard rain on the way back to Little Creek to add insult to injury- and then missed the party.

Saturday, September 30, 2023
Events:
Distance or point-to-point race, Single-day regatta

Strong winds and large swells marked this race. Not so much the race itself as after passing Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel it was a spinnaker run to the finish line. But, the trip back was pretty bumpy with gusts to 29 knots and swells at least 5 feet if not higher. It took 4:15 for the racw and 7:28 to sail back to Hampton, fighting an adverse current and beating back to CBBT and Hanmpton.

Crusing 2 4th overall, 2 days of light air racing marked by 1 abandoned race, 1 heartbreaking TLE where we were less than a boat length from the finish line and there wasn't een a wisp of breeze to get us across the finish line. Still, a great wekend of sailing and (maybe too much) partying.
