Hello Racers,
​
We started out the Fall series on Saturday with an impressive 12-boat turnout. Facing a very light forecast, we set a short course. We had nearly non-existent wind at the scheduled start, so I postponed until we had at least some hint of wind. I managed to botch the horns in the postponement process, so I did have to grant redress to Talon who followed the actual horn instructions. I can only apologize for the error, and I’ll review the process before the next race (and get a new battery for my VHF).
​
Even with the short course, this race was a struggle. 8 boats did manage to finish with Talon taking a very close first in the Racing Fleet and Taka taking first in the Cruising Fleet.
I definitely appreciate everyone coming out, and I hope we can keep up this attendance going forward. I think Fall racing on Lanier is the best, and I know we’ll have some decent wind for at least some of the remaining Fall Series.

Fall Race #4 - We had good wind and a beautiful day today. We all enjoyed the race and dirt-up after race. Thanks to the Steadmans for hosting the Dirt-Up. We had two new entrants for the race this year: Kathy Paes with TAKA and Jon/Lara Wittlin with Witch Burner. TAKA and Southern Cross were inching each other to the end.

The Barefoot Fall #3 Race on Sept/10 looked very promising at first. Good wind at the skippers meeting and nice day. Once the race began after 1PM the wind started dwindling to the point of standing boats – where the race was called-off, unfortunately. Let hope for better wind and happy days for the future races as Fall is here now.

Fall Series #2
​
The winds were light, but not too light so we had a nice race, short but very competitive and good fun. Two of the cruisers had an exciting photo finish with David Bloom coming within seconds of Fred Kempner and then easily correcting over Saucy Wench. It was a race where strategy outweighed speed and David ran a smart race resulting in a nice victory. As usual, the trimarans ran away from the cruisers making quick work of the course. After the race, we had a great dirt-up with the Robichaux's providing exceptional pulled pork barbeque and perfect sides. Thank you Mary and Rory!

There was no race. At first it looked like the morning’s slight breeze might fill in enough to start a short race, but even that slight breeze vanished and we bobbed around for an hour and called it quits. We had six boats, so thanks to all the captains willing to give it a try and special thanks to Laura who provided some great food for a dirt-up.
