Another day in paradise

And another postponement.

I did get back into the wetsuit though, only to take it back off again. The race committee are now back on shore, and even though the wind has dropped slightly, the likelihood of racing today is slim. Racing tomorrow is even more unlikely.

That could leave a 2-day event. The sailing instructions have been modified to accommodate a 4-race qualifying series, with 1 drop after 4 races. 2 drops kicks in after 9 races, but 9 races in 2 days would be a big call.

Forecast for Thursday/Friday is about 15 knots at this point. Who knows how that will look on the day.

The boredom here in the WPNSA is intense. Sailing stories only go so far, and 5 days of postponement is well beyond the repertoire of even the longest standing Mothists.

Talk has even degraded to the point of trying to determine the identity of the blog commenter Pommy Bob! What next?
