The Novice-Big Brother Race was held on October 26, 2003 and the winner was our own BYC Secretary and only novice, Ron Morse with P/C Leo Longenecker as his big brother. Leo was unable to go along on race day, so I went along to help out, and Ron did very well, having a score of 2.1067% error.
The BYC Past Commodores Cup club race was scheduled for Sunday, November 16. At 1000 Sunday morning the wind was blowing and the bay was full of white caps. The forecast was for very high winds, so the race was postponed two weeks until November 30th. By noon, the wind had dropped, the sun came out, and we could have run the race as scheduled. That's what I get for listening to the weatherman. The P/C Cup race is the first of two tune-up club races before the Heavy Weather contest, and is always lots of fun. It will start off of Annapolis, proceed through Rich Passage, and finish at Manette. The contest, when it is run, will be followed by a super potluck! The results will be in next months Towline.
Remember, "LOG RACING IS A SOCIAL EVENT".
