Light wind action tonight. Keith L and Aland T did 99% of the course and then retired, it was that kind of night.
wind:
patch and light, changed in couple of minutes before start from n to nw
Tide:
by time the race started the tide was ebbing strongly
course:
beat to buoy near george G’s house, reach to power station, then beat (started as reach) to faughan, beat to coneyburrow, and reach back to power station, then back through line.
The strong tide made crossing river very tricky, Bill and James J almost finnished shortly after Ken and David L, but tide pushed them back out again, and they had to sail back to where ships dock at lisahally, before they were able to turn for reach (with tide) back to finish line, about 9 mins after Ken and David.
