Fall Nightcap Series Race 2 Results
9 boats showed up for a repeat of Satch’s course of last week. He definitely knew the way, with a strong first across the line.

[slideshow id=49] A front from the south came through on the Sunday Sail By and gave a good rollicking ride. It was a fun day to sail and no one showed more pleasure in it than the big boats who are made for days like this. But it was not just big boats; all kinds of boats came out to parade around the Bay.
