Summary

Saturday, November 15:

Cue Guns 'N Roses "November Rain"... The skipper's briefing took place in a downpour of rain and no wind - a potential precursor to what was to become of the weekend. A short postponement on shore occurred before enough breeze warranted getting out of cars and going sailing. Fortunately, the rain lightened enough and the wind increased enough (4 knots minimum to about 12 knots at the absolute peak puff) to get 3 A race and 2 B races in the JV division. RC called the day at roughly 3:30pm recognizing a large dump of water was coming along shortly and sunset was before 5pm. As the sailors hit the docks, the dumping began and so did the 8-10 knot Southerly. Truly a brutal day to try to run races. During the races that did occur, the wind shifted steadily right the entire time starting from the East and switching all the way to the northwest. Two protests were filed after the filing deadline and were declared invalid. One request for redress due to a missing offset mark was filed in race 3a which resulted in a resail of that race on Sunday.

The conference met up for the fall meeting following racing at the Santa Barbara Yacht Club who were extremely gracious hosts bringing out hot coffee, outdoor fire pits and warmers on the lower deck out of the rain. The sailors were PCCSC typical - polite, courteous, and grateful. Thank you SBYC and PCCSC Sailors! Thank you to Kris Ozolins and Claire Hunt who came out for the whole day to grind through the 8 completed races.

Sunday, November 16:

The rain forecast looked less ominous Sunday morning after Santa Barbara reportedly receiving a 5+ inch deluge on Saturday. The wind forecast was not great, but also not to be trusted. The first warning was moved up to 10 am in hopes of completing the regatta. But at 10am, the wind died. Fortunately, some mercy occurred with an easterly breeze that kicked on at a whopping 4-5 knots at 10:20am. 2 more races were completed in both divisions before one more big dump of rain came with some decent wind to build a little more character and an attempt at a start occurred before the wind shut off. Racing was called just after 2pm.

On a very positive note, the conference was in great spirits the whole weekend and seemed to agree they were building character (several teams camped all weekend)! For the PRO that's writing this, I probably already had enough character going into the weekend, but it was still awesome to see these great athletes smiling and having fun.
