Islamorada Wednesday
The morning started without wind and racing was postponed. By 11am a steady southeasterly filled in and the boats were off again. There were two general recalls as the first race started in light breeze. On the third attempt the I flag went up (round-the-ends rule) and no further general recalls were called for the day.
The wind gradually filled in so that by the third race hulls were flying in puffy 10-15, with small confused wind waves. Pete Melvin won the first race of the day, but Lars Guck took line honors in the other two establishing a dominant first place finish overall.
At the end of the day the sailors all were invited to retire to an informal awards ceremony and a Prix Fixe menu (US$20 for a Cheese Burger, Chicken Salad, Fried Shrimp, or Fish Sandwich) at the Islamorada Fish Company. Tables were set right along the water with nice views of the bay side and sunset. The Fish Company's regular menu is viewable online here.
