Heres what I have found on the home website for fleet 250(www.fleet250.org)

"Day 2 summery: No wind yesterday, but one race held at 4:30....Today One race held and everyone flipped at least once. (Wind 20+ all day) One Tiger main is toast due to crew going thru it...One Mast toast due to skipper unsheeting the main as the crew sheeted in the spinnaker. Many broken spirits...Dan goes waving for the rest of the day. One day left with no wind relief in site. "

The men were amazed, and said, "What kind of a man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey Him?" Matthew 8:27

We finally got through this difficult weather with a last day with perfect conditions (10-18 knots) and could run four races.

Nigel Pitt/Sean Flaherty took first
David Lennard/Mike Krantz second with a tie break.

Complete results to follow on our web site.

Amazing. That sounds exactly like our weekend: Drifter to screamer with five competitors in the H20 fleet tied for first with six points each. I got two thirds and ended up a heart-breaking fifth and even managed to keep the boat upright in the honkin' wind.
