Another Friday night race cancelled due to storm

There was to be a makeup raft up and Duggan cup.

There were thunderstorm warnings and Jimmy called to cancel.  Tilda did not call.

Yves and Mary joined me on Bellum.  Daniele was setting up her vernissage

As we went out, there was dark rain at the west end of the lake.  On the radar, it was clearly moving north and probably going to miss us.  We put up the main and sailed around waiting for about 40 minutes.  Then the race was cancelled.  We pulled out the jib and sailed back to the club channel.

Then Audrey radioed us saying they were going to sail a bit and that she had Mary's wine.  So we sailed back out again.  The wind was right up to the channel so we took the inshore route and Goucho tacked through the channel.  We almost made it to the gut when we turned back.  We were not watching Goucho and it looks like they gave up tacking and returned to the club.

Mary and I had supper aboard Goucho.
