Figawi Race back (or Not)
27 May 2013 | Nantucket to Hyannis
20.9 nM W 23 gusting 30.
Raced back Monday with Tom, Jeremy and Cindy (who we had met at 12degrees east and was game for a bumpy race).
Windy and big Atlantic rollers. Real ocean racing weather. Start was delayed 30 minutes or so to allow racers to make it into the wind to the start area.
We made a good start but then the race was called off as the first mark blew away and the RC count not control it! First time for everything.
So we raced back to Hyannis anyway under double reef (single reef had slipped through the week before). Fast sail. Made it back in a little over 3 hours.
Moored at Hyannis marina again. Niki arrived about 6 pm and we ate at the marina restaurant.
