"There's no substitute for experience," and 8 boats full of  "experienced"  racers proved the point in the annual Tom Brady Masters Race hosted by Hampton Yacht Club on Saturday.   A wind in the mid-teens made for a brisk early afternoon jaunt around Hampton Roads Harbor under the watchful eye of Tom Brady's son, Malcolm, and daughter-in-law, Kathy Brady.   Special rules require that everyone on the boat be at least 55 years young and that the boat itself be at least 10 years old.  RESULTS:  1.Phil Briggs, Feather, J36; 2.Bumps Eberwine, Spray, Olson 25; 3.Graham Field, Independence, Islander 36.
 
Another Bionic Racer:  In case you haven't heard, Karl Petersen, Valkyrie, Dehler 39, recently took a tumble down the companionway (boat was at the dock) and broke his leg in a major way.  He'll be OK, but he is laid up while the bolts, plates, and screws become a part of his being!   Keep those cards and letters going Karl's way.  However, there is a silver lining [for the racers] - he and Senta, because of the busted leg, will be here  [not off on the Caribbean 1500]  to honcho the CCV Annual Awards Presentation Party (again)!
 
As of this past Friday, there are 68 boats registered and ready to race (and party) at the Cape Charles Cup Regatta.  Entry cutoff is Wednesday, Aug 15, 5PM.  Call Scott Almond at (757) 471-2663.
 
There are now 3 Pearson Flyers knockin' heads within the southern Bay PHRF B fleet:  Bob Archer's Bad Habit, Larry Preddy's PF Flyer, and the newest to the fleet, Bobby Whitehouse' Fat Bottom Girl.  And, speaking of like boats racing like boats, 5 Santana 20's will see one another on the race course at the Hospice Turkey Shoot Regatta, (October 5-7), hosted at Yankee Point Marina.
 
New addition to the southern Bay Racer ranks  Hank Ross, all 9 pounds and 3 ounces of him, has arrived.  Mom and Dad, Pam and Jim Ross, are doing well too.  Jim has long been a regular on Lou and Barbara Lewis' Incentive (PHRF C). 
 
New Yorkers Put the Bite on Shark ChampionshipsBryan and Christina Perrin, took first and John and Linda Rogers took second in the Sharks Nationals.  Both couples are from Canandaigua, New York.  They traveled south to sail in the regatta hosted last week by Broad Bay Sailing Association at First Landing State Park in Virginia Beach.  Southern Bay racers, Jerry Pattenaude and crew Christina Couch (Chesapeake, VA) took 3rd.   Race chairman, Lloyd Griffin, finished up the Shark assignment  and raced his "big boat" Cash Flow, Sunday in the CCV Founders Race. 
 
MURPHY'S LAW:    SHARKS!!  I'll take on a feisty squirrel anyday, but The Murphster don't want no part of no shark no time!    /S/  Murphy the Racing Beagle, the sailing spirit in us all.
