It was a full last weekend, with two races both days. The second race on Saturday was a drifter and it came down to only minutes before the 2 & 1/2 hour time limit expired, but Mystery manage to finish just in time extending the time another 45 minutes. Silver heel finished awhile behind mystery and Island blossom took third just in time before the 45 minutes expired. Everyone else was left to drift home…

After tropical storm Hanna, which brought some rain and a few large gusts of wind (otherwise no much of a show!) the wind calmed down enough for two races. The plan of having two back-to-back races plus a third in the afternoon was re-evaluated and changed so there were only two races on Sunday. There were a few canoes missing from the weekend, *Spirit of Wyetowne, Oliver’s Gift, Persistence, Silver Heel, Billie P. Hall, Magic, and Noddy. *The *Mary Julia Hall *again showed up but was not able to race for the first race. A beautiful day for racing with a close finish between Island Blossom and Jay Dee, with Island Lark right behind both. The rest of the fleet was several minutes behind the first 3 boats.

Mary Julia Hall came out for the second race, making a total of 8 canoes competing. The wind seemed to be dying off towards the late afternoon but held out long enough to finish the races. It was great to see Mary Julia Hall sailing with the fleet, she only sailed her jib and her fore but finished the course.

The last race of the day and the season was bitter-sweet… Only 6 canoes competing with lots of wind making for a rough day, very squriley and shifty! Everyone tired from the first race, possibly hung over, looking forward to finishing the season and relaxing…

Mystery and Jay Dee were fighting for a lead on the fleet, meanwhile Island Lark came up behind and closed the gap finishing ahead of Jay Dee. The Island Bird capsized in the previous race and was unable to compete for this one.
