This evening's race was in jeopardy right from the start. There were debris fields on the river and the north side of Haverstraw marina had a big boat burn early in the morning. Despite those conditions, it was the lack of wind that did us in.
We arrived at the boat early to put everything back together that had been taken apart ahead of Irene. The boat had a decent covering of burnt fiberglass from the On Your Mark burning. The marina was without water, so it was tough to get everything clean. We did most of the work on the river since it was nicer out there.
We drifted around the starting mark for a while with the fleet, but nothing was to come of it. Here and there we got a slight breeze, but up until 20:30, we never found a consistent wind to sail in.
I heard the floating islands we passed by were some sort of runaway pumpkin field. Here are two pictures.
