Disappointment at Duggan Cup

I worked hard at trying to make the Duggan Cup race a race to Soulange but low water and concerns about the condition of the walls at Soulange as well as low water and not desiring to anchor caused us to race on Lake St. Louis only. 

Disappointing.  But it was good racing.

At 9h30 I was the only person who showed up.  My crew showed up late.  Jason said he could race Fugu at 1PM.  Luc called Patrick to convince him to come.

We started at 1PM near AD14.  Sylvie had assumed it was a Pursuit race and assumed Jason would let her in but Jason was also starting.  Sylvie was over early.  

Bellum moved well and led the pack but the handicap placed us a second.  The racing time was about 2 1/2 hours.

We decided to raft up at the bay near the club for protection from North East.  

Sylvie had picked up a lot of weed but Patrick had to dive into 20-degree water to de-weed.  We rafted up had some wine, supper and drafted.  

Tara II hit a rock and sat on the rock overnight.  The next morning when Luc came out with a club boat to tow him out.

Jimmy Maud and I had breakfast and lounged around at anchor until 4ish when we motored back to the club, had a  pump out and everybody returned home.
