Considering all the storms this weekend…

We had a pretty good day of sailing. All the storms and forcasts around the SE were kind of keeping us all wondering whether we would actually have a race. Matt and I discussed a couple of times over “Senior Weekend”, are we racing or not. My rule of thumb is: If there is a severe thunderstorm watch, then we think about it. If there is a tornado watch, we think harder. If there is a warning, well we sit in clubhouse and wait to see what happens. Then go sail after. There is generally good breeze just after the warnings pass. (A lot of this is tongue in cheek.) However, I’ve got two guys that will sail in anything. So most of the time I’m the wimp if it is blowing too hard.
About the race. We had great 10-13 breeze out of the SSE. We bounced around the course with Air Express swapping the lead back and forth. They eventually got us. I had one stupid move, they had a stupid move and in the end they won.
We’ll be back next week though so stay tuned.
