Fishers Island - 09/04/99
Course – clockwise
Crew: Scott Palmer, Bob & RW
Flood: Napatree 1220, factor 2.7f
Wind: East
Up all night flying, no sleep at all.
Good start but screwed the pooch by tacking back towards Fishers’ north shore too soon (the second tack in for the better part of a 5 minute loss). We should have stayed out a bit longer for the last of the ebb, but instead suffered from the new flood along the shore sooner that we would have. The wind went light and we would have eventually had to take a few tacks to gain C7, just did it too soon. By the time we rounded C7 we were trailing badly.
Two and a half hours later with the wind dying, we had a difficult time rounding the bell at North Hill against the current and got swept toward North Dumpling.

Non-spinnaker Class
Flooding at the start, wind northeast, eight kts. Forty seconds late for the start. Port favored , hugged the north shore to Lords. Wind dropped to six knots, and changed to the drifter at the MOA. After about 30 minutes, a southeast breeze filled in for a strong port beam reach down the backside of the island.
