FROSTBITE SERIES:  The first race of the annual Frostbite Series, sponsored by HYC, turned out to be A+.  Once the breeze stopped going right, 22 boats got underway and enjoyed 8-12 knots from ENE.  Cool enough for long undies, but not too cool - yet.  RESULTS:  PHRF A: 1.Phil Briggs, Feather, J36; 2.Christian Schaumloffel, Mirage, Hobie 33; 3.Bob Mosby, Cyrano, Frers 36.  PHRF B: 1.Bob Archer/Chris Beahr, Bad Habit, Pearson Flyer; 2.Rusty Burshell, Cool Change, J30; 3.Dave Nichol, Pelican, Cal 33;  PHRF C: 1.Chris Johnson, Blue Bus, J24; 2.Ben Cuker, Callinectes, Cal 30-3; 3.Cary Hardesty, Lona, Ericson 25. PHRF Non-Spin: 1.Leo Wardrup, Black Widow, Irwin 38; 2.Jim Williams/ Roberts, Treaty of Ghent, Hobie 33; 3.JD Scott/Mark Shaw, Prevail, Beneteau 42.  PRO: Dick Boykin        Race #2 next Sunday, same time and place.   For info contact Dick Boykin at (757) 890-0093.
 
WHOA UP!  The Caribbean 1500 boats - 76 strong - to delay their start.  The Rally was scheduled to depart the Chesapeake today, Monday, mid-day.  However, due to the strong possibility of bad weather brewing down the track, Rally organizers decided to stay in port until at least Tuesday, and very probably until Wednesday.  Blue Water Yachting Center's Ian Bates, when asked how having so many boats extending their stay would impact BYC's operations, said it would not be a problem, "...we'll just roll with it!"  
 
PARTY  NIGHT minus 4 - CCV AWARDS PARTY AND YEAR END BASH THIS FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 10th at the Radisson Hotel in downtown Hampton.  Cocktail Party starts at 7 pm.  Heavy hors d'oeuvres (heavy enough for any self-respecting racer to make a meal), free wine and beer as long as it lasts (get there early), and cash bar.  Live music - THE PHUN DOCTORS.  Put the taps on your boat shoes and go dancin'!  If you have not yet made your ressies, call Karl Petersen at (757) 440-8772.  
 
IN WILLOUGHBY BAY: The November chill did not deter the Willoughby Racers from getting in two races on Saturday.  First the hearty 15 sailed the make-up chase race for the annual Memorial Race that was postponed in October because of rain.  The MR was followed immediately by the Hot Buttered Rum Race which is a long time favorite for cool weather racers.  In the staggered start Memorial Race, Rodney Paice in Wiki-Wiki was first to finish overall. MR RESULTS: Fleet 1: 1.John Sherwood, Prevail; 2.Dave Bettis, Boo Nasty; 3.Bill Bounds, Wham Bam; Fleet 2: 1.Don DeLoach, Midnight Surrender; 2. Ray Moore, Lonnie J; 3.Martin Casey, Bowmovement.  Fleet 3: 1.Rodney Paice, Wiki Wiki; 2.Bill Storm, Alibi ll; 3.Gary Stull, Cindy ll.   HBRR RESULTS: Gold Label Fleet: 1.Dave Bettis, Boo Nasty; 2.Don DeLoach, Midnight Surrender; 3.Ray Moore, Lonnie J.  Silver Label Fleet: 1.Rodney Paice, Wiki Wiki; 2.Martin Casey, Bowmovement; 3.Gary Stull, Cindy ll.  PRO:  Scott Almond
 
Frostbite Toughies Award:   Prevail,  JD Scott's and Mark Shaw's big Beneteau from NYCC, was on station and ready to race a week ago, when Frostbite #1 got blown away.  The Prevail  team had prevailed, but to no avail.  Conditions proved unsuitable for racing, with winds that wrecked even more havoc up the Bay.
 
DINGHY OPS:  Here's an opportunity for dinghy sailors.  Go one more time while the water is not quite warm, but OK... for a polar bear with thin fur!  November 11 & 12, this coming Saturday and Sunday, is the Fall Fling Regatta at HYC.  Open to Lightnings, 5o5s, 420s, FJs and Lasers.  For info contact HYC at (757) 722-0711 or check the web site at www.hamptonyc.com

MURPHY'S LAW:  Have you noticed that the lower the air temperature, the longer the navigator stays below at the nav station.  And, it does not matter that all us rail-riders can see the next mark quite clearly.  Your Racing Beagle, however, is blessed with fur lined and fur covered  foulies.  /S/  Murphy the Racing Beagle, the sailing spirit in us all.
