Offshore Spring Series #2 Recap
on Tuesday April 26, 2011 09:26AM
After a weekend of unprecedented weather in Deltaville that caused the cancellation of both opening day (storm) and spring series number one (tornado), the offshore fleet got what it hoped for all along, a bright sunny day with 15-20 knot winds oscillating just enough to make it interesting, and coming on just strongly enough to uncover the flaws in every crews' winter preparations. At the end of the day, Craig Wright's AFTERTHOUGHT took top honors in PHRF-A, Miles Booth's SHENANIGAN stood atop the PHRF-B fleet, and Brad Miller's SCHIEHALLION won PHRF-C.
Notable for her years of prior anonimity, Strother Scott's LOOSE CANNON arrived on course with letterring on her hull! LOOSE CANNON finished first in the J-105 fleet, as did Dick Cole's NUTCRACKER in the uncontested non-spin fleet.
In the end, it was a beautiful day, a day for nature's atonement, and a day for which to be grateful.
The next offshore race will be Spring Series #3 on May 7.
