Where Did the Wind Go? (12/2/12)

After strong gusty winds the previous week, the milder wind this week seemed like a welcome relief...until we got out on the water and realized that there was almost no way to determine which direction the wind was coming from. The race committee set up the course for a southwest wind, but then ended up running the course backwards for the first race because the wind seemed to be coming from the north. Except then it changed (or did it?), and the second race was run as if the wind was from the southwest again.

Keep Your Sunny Side Up (11/25/12)

A busy day for the race committee as skippers worked hard to keep their Sunfish upright. Wind conditions were just within the SI guidelines for gusts, but it didn't take long for it to start breaking equipment and capsizing boats.

Wind: NW 7-24 knots
Air temp: 41°F
Wind chill: 30°F
