Race 3, 1st half
5/22/2013
Tonight, Wednesday May 22 was my turn as RC. Going out onto the lake I could see some wind near Long Is. with Joy sailing close hauled with the wind coming from the south, southeast. There was more dark water to the north between Basin Bay and Dome Is, so headed out into the lake and set a hiphop somewhere between Hogback on the east and LGC to the west, using it as the windward mark if the wind holds. I picked up Nelson (my RH Hand man) at Yankee and proceeded north to set the start line. By then the wind had filled in some more so we set the line east of Lone Tree in the middle of the lake. As RC, we decided on a W-5 course (up, down, up, down with a windward finish). The 10 boats on the start line were given a great sail considering that an hour before there was little wind on the lake. Tactically some boats went left and others right. JaKo managed to do well by leading the fleet around the 1st 2 marks ahead of the fleet. JaKo decided to cover WitchWay by covering them tack for tack. On the 3rd leg of the race one of Joy's crew went for a swim so the J22 was observed doing circles to retrieve him. PHYSCO decided to bang the left corner on that leg, separating them from JaKo and WitchWay. That move turned out to be a winner as PHYSCO pulled out ahead to get their very 1st Place finish of the season. Joy was also rewarded a 2nd for their efforts of crew overboard and fast sailing, followed by JaKo for 3rd place overall. Next week has the crew of Animal as Race Committee.
