Tight in-port racing
After a huge welcome barbeque last night, today was tight in-port racing. It was held just outside the yacht club in a very narrow patch of water, with the committee boat moored about 150 feet from rocks where we started! The race was two laps of up/downs and with docks on one side of the course, sand spits/shore on the other side, and a top mark all of 50 feet from the shore. The action was fast and furious!
We ended up third overall, which was terrific, but (more importantly) with no damage! Such tight action can result in boats colliding, and today was no exception. Luckily, we were able to avoid that calamity and are ready to go for tomorrow.
