J/22 Midwinters: Winter delay

Part Three of a Four Part Series
(Sunday, Feb 19) Unfortunately the weather predictions were right for Saturday - 45 degree high and 15-25 mph breeze - so the race committee wisely abandoned racing for the day at 11 am.

The regatta organizers did a great job of quickly shifting gears and moved up the dinner planned for Saturday night to noon. A great opportunity for yet more socializing. You can really tell a great deal about a club and its regatta management when they are challenged by unexpected changes. Hopefully today will bring a better chance for racing...though we're seeing predictions of 10-20 and a high of 44. One weather model predicted the wind chill to be 33 degrees until noon! At the present time the temperature is 39 degrees and wind-chill is 28!

We'll hopefully have a report tonight with the final results after a full day of racing! - Greg Fisher

Curmudgeon's Comment: Looks like Greg hit the road back to Annapolis before having a chance to post a wrap-up report. They did get two more races in, totalling five, with Texan Kelson Elam rallying to tie early leader David Van Cleef, and winning the tie breaker. Click here for complete results. Look for Greg's report to follow.
