Central Regionals :: Day 1

February 6, 2005 - 03:03 — us5214

We had a great day out on the ice today.

Six gold races and Six silver races,

33 in the Gold, 30 in the silver.

I don't have the results, but I believe JD, us4691 is standing 5 points behind Ron Sherry, us44.

The ice started out hard in the morning and the insert runners where fast. By the last race some used angles and others still stayed on the inserts.. Seemed like people had success with both speed and power sails. It was sunny and around 50 degrees. The ice changed to a dark color and was getting pretty soft, but not quite squishy.. I was happy to get off the ice..

The wind was a pretty steady direction all day. It started out around 8knots and went pretty light for one race, but by the end of the day it was pretty fresh.

Tomorrow we should have more of the same.. Super fun in the sun.

Jealous...

I am so going to kick myself if the NAs don't come off!

Sounds like great fun. I hope tomorrow is just as good.

Cheers,

sunday wasn't just as good..

we didn't get any racing off on sunday.. the ice was a bit questionable, although a few boats went out and reported very fast conditions.. or maybe there was too much wind for the short course..
or maybe we got in 12 races yesterday... so the here's the top finishers in the gold fleet..
