Just a quick update Jerobaum is leading with six points Evelyn is in second with nine points. Viva is in third. We have sailed 6 races, two on friday and four yesterday. Wind both days have been between 10 to 20 with some gusts up to 25. Who ever said it never blows in Marblehead is wrong.

NOODs were very good this year. 8 races over 3 days with fantastic weather. Friday was overcast but solid breeze, Saturday was breezy from the NW - forecast was for it to go light - never did. It was one 15kts-17kts decisions - get the #1, no the #3, no wait #1, ok #1 - hike hard! Sunday was a bit light with weather forecast for typical sea breeze, it was a sea breeze but not a typical one.

Jeroboam was pretty much un-hittable all weekend. Congrats.

Great racing and maybe next year we can get a few more boat for the regatta! The Northern New England fleet is really improving since we have a consistent OD schedule now. The racing was really tight and you were made to pay for mistakes. The way it should be. Congrats to the whole fleet.

I had the pleasure of racing with Evelyn and it was great fun as always.
