What a beautiful sailing day in mid peak season. Winds from the right filling our B sails to capacity. Race Director Terry set the course, starting from the left starting line upwind to the far white mark. Then an offset to the green mark. Downwind and around both white and red at the original start line and finish using the windsock finish line. Races were fast so we finished 8 races just after 3:00.
Since it was early Terry decided we should have one last race and it was unscored. The race was around all marks counter clockwise. It was a fun challenge with several congested marks, a few bumps and a hookup that took a couple of boats off course for a minute or two. They did eventually separate and finish the race.
Terry dominated the scoring and is now the Skipper of the Week. Note his score compared to the rest of the fleet. I was surprised to see me in third place. I did not think I had done that well. Note how close the scores are in the bulk of the fleet. Richard and I had identical numerical scores but I had the most first place finishes. I only had 1 but he had none.

Don't forget THURSDAYS-- Fun sailing begins at 2:00
Sailors are coming back to Marco
Great to hear from Roger. I also arrived in FL yesterday, and a few weeks ago Bruce called me to say he is ready to start sailing any time. So with Rocky and I we should be able get a small fleet going. The sailing marks are stored in the park building. Rocky is going to check with the City this week to confirm when we can get them out. As soon as that's done we plan to schedule a work day to to get the marks out. I'll put out an email as soon as we know the date.
I goodly number of other members have emailed all of us stating when they expect to be back on Marco. It looks as though we will have an active fleet again in late '25 through early 2026.
