We had some nice breezes and some softer winds, mostly from the west for our keel boat races. Dinghy sailors also ran practice races. Evening conditions were perfect for a classic FSC potluck BBQ on the upper deck.

Conditions were favourable for a scheduled keel boat race for the first time this year, so we took full advantage and ran four races. Since Deb and Maureen volunteered to run the races from the committee boat, dinghy sailors were also able race with a separate start.
Winds were reasonably brisk from the north, north-west, which kept all the boats moving nicely.

Not much wind to play with; very light puffs generally from the North. Four boats set out to make the most of what there was. We had to shorten the second race as the wind was quitting.
Memorable moment when Charles fell out of Kismet because a lifeline that he was leaning against broke…
