Light air and strong current for 11/22/2015

There were a record 14 boats on the line for the day's races! Great turn out for "The Frozen Few!"

Skippers were puzzled to find strong current was coming from the North. For a rising tide, one would expect the current to flow from the south. The contrary current made traveling upwind in light North winds a challenge to get to the windward mark. The windward mark also seemed to issue a strange magnetic force attracting unwary Sunfish to it during the roundings. During the second to the last race, skippers sailed upwind toward the finish, but sometimes traveled backward before finally crossing the line.

There was a tie for the day between Chris L and Dave L. The prevailing skipper was Dave L, who had a high score of 4 in the last race for the day.
