PRSA Spring Series # 8, Sunday June 7. /font> What a great way to end the Spring Series! Rick Welch was PRO. The AccuWeather forecast (always subject to change) called for partly sunny skies, a high of 83 degrees, and winds from the south at 6 - 9 MPH. We got better than that -- a steady southerly averaging around 10 MPH, under sunny skies and with a high temperature of 79 degrees. The river flow was way up -- four times normal for this time of year, at 40,000 CFS (gage height 6.2 ft) and the water was cooler than last week, at 72 degrees. With high tide at 8:27 AM and low tide at 3:49 PM we had an outgoing tide to combine with the high river flow to produce a strong downriver current. Ten Albacores, thirteen Lightnings, three Cats, and a Bucc came out. PRO Rick Welch got off five races in quick succession on a long windward-leeward course before we were too exhausted to sail more.

We continue to have issues with the ethanol in the gasoline causing the carburetor to gum up, making the engine difficult to start and to keep running at idle. We have developed new refueling and operating procedures that we hope will keep this from happening, Please follow them. More 2009 reports. Read 2008 reports.
