SeTherin.com - Slowest boat in the fleet, yet not always the last to finish

Brought SeTherin home to G'bury. 09/21/16

Having done all the disassembly but for the mast on Tuesday, I finished that up and secured everything today.  
Adam dropped by and together we floated her onto the trailer & I was back in Glastonbury by mid-afternoon.

Donzo WNR - 09/07/16

Wind: E 6.5 to 14, average 10.5 kts
Temp: 75 F, Baro: 29.94”
Current: ebb North Hill 15:30
Course: s/f-R-s/f; Race Length: 4.0 nm
Crew: Brian, Adam, Dan & RW

We had a decent start and tacked offshore for current and wind at first opportunity which worked out well.  I overstood the layline at the RI bell more than I should, a bit concerned about traffic.  There was a small snafu on the hoist, though Adam having experienced a similar situation Saturday at Lords’ MOA, quickly sorted it out this time.
We decided to give some bias to the shore for current relief, though Thunder Chicken stayed offshore for a more direct course to the finish with no appreciable harm (for a sixth in fleet compared to our 15 th).
Yet our duck inshore around GPL R22 paid dividends against Cosmic (apparently ahead farther offshore) allowing us to lead them across the line by twenty seconds.

It was a very nice evening for the season's last sail aboard SeTherin.  Thanks to our enjoyable crew of Adam, Brian, Dan & Josh.  :)
