Sorry about no report yesterday - the time flies like an arrow and fruit flies like a banana! Yesterday the wind was from the east mostly moderate. At this end of Lake Erie that means lumpy water. We got five races in thinking that today might be blown and/or stormed out.

The weather today was breezy out of the southwest which made it even lumpier than yesterday. The highest wind report I heard in the race area was a 22 knot gust. The SIs give a race wind range of 4 - 22 knots and that is sustained over a 15 minute period so it soon became apparent that we would not get blown out. In fact the wind went down to about 12 knots at the start of the second race but ended up about 16 knots at the end. We towed in two boats that were dismasted - one due to a broken main beam. There were several others that came in for breakdowns and some that came in due to personal decisions. There were thunderstorms rolling in so we got off the lake in time for everyone get to shore and to secure their boats.

We are going to start at 10 A.M. tomorrow, an hour earlier than normal, at the request of the competitors. The forecast right now is for light air tomorrow 10 - 5 or less.

Sailing Anarchy was represented there today so they might have some news.
