2008 York River Cup
The YRC suffered through the hottest day of the year so far. The heat was relentless with barely a whisper of wind. The non-spin and spinnaker fleets got off just after 1 pm in a couple of knots of fickle wind but it was a hard slog to the windward mark and even harder running back against the current. Luckily a sea breeze filled in with a hundred and eighty degree wind shift, so those beating back up the course suddenly had to get their spinnakers back on deck and those still on a run found themselves again beating to windward.

Over the course of Memorial Day Weekend we had six boats on Mobjack Bay. Each day we sailed and each evening we rafted together and enjoyed the beauty of being at anchor on the water. The weather and the company were both excellent! Larry and Maureen Davis are leaving the weekend of June 21 to sail Camden up the bay, with the specific goal of visiting Baltimore Harbor. Lin and I can't leave until Monday, but we are going to catch up with them. Camden and Elixir will both be back in home waters somewhere around the July 4th weekend. Anyone else want to join in?
