Bay View Regatta at Bay View Boat ClubNovember 6
Story
After an uneventful tow over to Bay View behind Sam's C&C (Scoundrel) and Michael's Protector (Panthera) we found nothing but glass waiting for us. Some promising puffs around 12:30 proved illusory, and we spent a couple of hours waiting for consistent breeze that never showed up. Eventually we all but threw out the Sailing Instructions to run two races on a simplified course in a light northerly, with a strong ebb carrying boats upwind, making for slow and tricky downwinds where reaching in shore for current relief usually paid off.

As the wind ran out and the current picked up, we called it a day and headed in to the club for drinks and an impromptu tiebreaker, where Ty & Fiona edged out Sam & Elena for the win in a sidewalk skipper/crew piggyback race.

Big thanks to our hosts at Bay View Boat Club; our tow boat volunteers Sam and Michael; our race committee of John Super, Greg Meagher, Peter McCool, and Larry; and everyone who turned out to make this a fun event despite the race conditions.
