I can't speak for the other folks that were there but I had a great time. Saturday the wind was light with a slow build and by the third race we had double trap conditions. On the fourth and last race we had an 85 degree wind shift to the right about 15 minutes after the start which put us on a reach up and down and by the second lap the RC got bored with drag race and pulled the plug.

Conditions on Sunday were starting to degard but the forecast promissed us a few hours of manageable racing. The race started a little late with a 12-15 knot and building breeze. By the last leg the breeze was at a solid 18 and the sea state was getting sporty not Hyannis sporty but pay attention sporty. This was enough to break the committee boat from its hook on the bottom (Ron Rice's 50' monohull) so we were done for the day plus the squall lines were on their way.

As you would expect with fleet 80 the social hours were fun and lively. The host hotel (Perry's) is happy to have us and they made every effort to make us feel welcome. In my opinion Jay you would have not wasted your kitchen pass to attend this one. You and Frank on the 20 would have been a force to recon with, Sunday alone would have made it worthwhile.

We were also told the Gilligan's Run fish fry will be at Perry's this year so you can litterly park the car Friday night and not move it until Sunday morning. Preregistration and info here: http://www.fleet80.com
