Spring Race #7

Winds were light and variable.  Current flooding.  Race Cancelled.

Early in day there were some good northerlies.  They quickly died down when we went on the water around 17:40.  We motored over to the start area and found the wind light and variable. 

After the postponement, we motored up to Croton and sailed in a nice 4-6 knots from the south.  As we made our way back to the starting area, the breeze shifted to the west and died.  Looking back at Croton, the wind we saw there also died.

Finally, around 18:45, we motored to the west thinking we saw something near the marina.  As we got closer, we saw nothing and finally took the main in.  The races were then cancelled for the evening and we were in the harbor a few minutes later. 

We then had dinner at the Hudson Water Club.  Looking out on the river, we never saw any improvement before we left the restaurant a little after 21:00.  The night was pleasant, but no sailing was possible.
