Another great day on the water! Eight A cats, five F16s, one Dart, one F18. Moderate winds 8-10 knots, frequent gusts to 15. Same typical, swirling conditions. Flat water, bright sun and a few clouds.

Jennifer Lindsey and Fred Metcalf,F18(Capricorn, I think) smoked the fleet in the second race, finishing minutes ahead of the nearest contender. The rest of the day was much closer. Results will be up in a day or so. Gordon Isco made a good showing, fourth overall (I think). The gusts were heavy enough he could have easily been overpowered.

Spoke with Robbie Daniel briefly; he has four new Vipers on the way. Sadly, none of them are staying in Gulfport.

Dinner was pizza and salad, brew and soft drinks. Surprise of the day was Rush Bird's political essay. Rush the firebrand! Who knew!? All parted friends. A great day all around.
