This was another example of the unpredictability of weather forecasting in Port Townsend Bay and how the unusual is becoming the new normal. With Small Craft Warnings and a consistent forecast of 25 kt Southerlies, four crews left the Boat Haven to find very light and variable breezes with a mostly Northerly component. After a twenty minute postponement waiting for the wind to stabilize, course SCGF was set, probably the first time this course has been used. The first windward leg was well aligned with the light wind. Rounding the windward mark was slow, then, just as chutes were raised, the wind switched to South and started to build. The fleet split on this newly windward leg, one pair tacking for the Port layline the other going Starboard. The wind built to about 16 kts with gusts to 21 and mostly held the same Southerly direction. There was plenty of wind to avoid the usual difficulty in rounding G. The boats taking the Starboard side of the course appeared to have been favored by over five minutes. The wind began to ease, then fade, during the run to the finish.
Note:- The next two races will be run from City Dock as the CB is on vacation.
