With Francisco missing the night due to a work conflict and a low tide sucking additional spirit from the evening, I can't say I was too excited about racing. However, the beautiful weather and the fact that Ed relented and allowed us to run an all-water version of course #3 helped stoke my competitive fires. We'd run the course in reverse - out past Black Rocks, around Coney Island, and back to Lynch Park.
Although regulars Kirk and Bill couldn't make it, Graeme Rockett showed up for a guest appearance in his V12. At the start, Ken jumped out uncharacteristically fast, and maintained a stiff pace towards Black Rocks. I pulled ahead after a few minutes, but as I made the turn towards Coney, I saw that Ken, Mike, and Matt were not very far behind.
The trip to Coney went pretty smoothly until I got within a quarter mile or so, at which point some odd standing waves threw me off my rhythm. After successfully making it around the island, I expected to get a fair amount of help from the tide and light wind heading home, but the promised subsidies never really materialized. I slogged back to base to take the win, followed by Ken and Mike. Here are the full results.
Just one week left, after which I guess I'll have no choice but to return to watching reruns of The Jeffersons on my Tuesday nights.
