Wednesday Night Series: 2024

Race 13 of the WNR series had threats of rain and some thunder bumpers in the forcast.  The RC started the race about 4 minutes ahead of the scheduled time of 6:30 pm because of the pending weather.  Another W4 using North Canoe government mark as the windward mark was posted as the race.  The first leg saw the lead change a few times as the light and shifty winds caused by the storms to the south and a big one to the north.  At the first mark Stinger and Uncle Ludwig were fighting it out with the rest of the fleet not too far behind.  Stinger had a better spinnaker set than the hour glass on Uncle Ludwig and managed to pull ahead.  On the fourth leg of the race the heavy rain showers to the north spread down to the race area and another shower came over the fleet from the west with everyone getting soaked.  Some thunder overhead was heard as the last of the fleet finished.  The RC left their mark and boat anchor tied to a small marker and headed to the LG Club out of the weather.  After calculating the elasped times, congratulations to Stinger for line honors and 1st overall, followed by Uncle Ludwig in 2nd and IKOIKO for 3rd.  Next weeks after race party will be at the ADK Brew Pub (John Carr's place).  The season is winding down with 2nd place for the season being hotly contested.
