Ugh

The E-Scows got in 2 races Sunday. But the MC-Scows were yet again thwarted by a lack of wind.

We started prepping KU-1 for the Nationals. Bryon Eichorn jumped on as a 4th person on the boat. Unfortunately there wasn't much wind for race 1 so practice was a bit stunted. But for race 2 he got a taste for some medium breeze. We won race 1 with little effort. But race 2 was a short 1-lap where we got passed on the downwind by Brent Penwarden and John Anderson (sailing Bob Cole's boat). We ended up third.

After we got to shore we watched the wind slowly drop to nothing during lunch. Then an hour after we cancelled afternoon racing the wind filled in again. Frustrating.

Now the long term forecast is for the residual hurricane remnants to arrive between Sunday and Monday potentially messing up our final weekend.

Ugh.
