After all the anticipation, we did not have any races today. It was windy this morning…

And then only got windier and wavier…

We were postponed on shore until about 3:30 pm, at which point they cancelled us for the day. While the wind was manageable, the waves were so large that a beach launch with about 150 470’s (men and women) trying to get through breaking waves would have been treacherous.

The forecast for tomorrow is for a northwest wind to shift to a southwest wind. Hopefully we will be able to get three races in, the maximum we can have in a day. Stay tuned!
