2004 Spring Series #1

Sunday April 4

Racing was cancelled due to high winds that averaged in the mid 20s with gusts up into the 30s.   Only Barney Harris and Scott Snyder braved the conditions.  They put on drysuits (the water was 49 degrees) and launched an Albacore with sound floatation tanks.   Even they capsized several times, but managed to keep the mast out of the mud and enjoyed some screaming reaches.   We also tip our hats to the Georgetown co-ed sailing team that was out there team racing on their very buoyant Flying Juniors and wearing drysuits or wetsuits.
