2016 Midwinters at St.Andrews Bay Yacht Club, Panama City, FL - Day 3 NO racing
Tuesday night we had another great chalk talk with Zeke Horowitz and the race leaders where everyone figured out what they did right and what they did wrong and were ready to do it all again on Wednesday. The chalk talk was followed by the "Meet the Sailors" party where the Club members brought their goodies and we all sat around and talked for hours! A really beautiful night to be on the deck at St.Andrews Bay Yacht Club watching the sunset over the bay!
Wednesday morning brought a sunny and sometimes overcast sky with the temperature in the 70's. But, it brought some pretty heavy with some gusts to over 25, so at 11:30 AM the postpone flag was raised in the hopes that the wind might subside in time for us to go out and race. We watched a couple of Laser sailors go out, saw them screaming upwind, capsize a few times, and continue sailing, thinking it was good that it was them and not us!. The Race Committee waited as loing as they could, but unfortunately for us, the wind did nothing but build with gusts over 30, so at 13:30, up went the N over A flags and we had no racing today. We have the regatta banquet tonight so well all get to enjoy that and try racing again tomorrow.
