Thursday May 11th Practice/Training:
With 505s not yet back on the SSA lot after the Volvo Party, and some teams packing up to go to Hampton this weekend, our Thursday practice/training session was down to just one boat.
Ali Meller and Bob Patterson went blasting around last night in 7200. I thought it was blowing about 18 to 20 knots, but Thomas Pt. Light reports:
05 11 8:00 pm SE 23 27 - - - - 29.48 -0.11 66.0 61.7 - - - -
05 11 7:00 pm ESE 21 23 - - - - 29.52 -0.09 64.0 61.7 - - - -
05 11 6:00 pm SE 23 27 - - - - 29.56 -0.08 64.6 61.5 - - - -
so 23-27 knots for the period. Hmn. With the breeze out of the SE, there was a good fetch and some great waves/chop. And for added amusement a small fleet of J24s and J80s were out for the Thursday J World racing (there may have been some J22s out too). So we had a course to drag race around and some keelboats to plane by. What a blast!
