SSC = Short Crew => finish + 1

Note:  Patience was the watchword and the virtue of the day. RC postponed the start, keeping boats at the dock until 11:30, and then towing us to the race area on a flat calm Potomac with partly sunny skies and temperatures in the mid 70s. Finally an easterly breeze came up, a triangular course was set, and the first race got off at 1 PM.  As winds shifted to a more southerly direction the course was re-set and re-set again. Three more races were started before 3 PM.  Winds were forecasted for 3 MPH, but by the end of the day they were up around 6 - 10 MPH.  High Tide 7:06 AM; Low Tide 1:47 PM; river height at Little Falls station 3.9 feet, discharge 9,800 CFM.
