After an extended stay out west, Jonathan and Anna Gorbold returned to RC racing at CYC this past Sunday. One would think that after being gone for so long (months) that they would have lost some of their skills. Not so. Out of the five grueling races with up and down from anywhere wind, Jonathan won 3 and Anna was able to sneak in with a second in race three. Nate was able to put in one bullet for the day which still has him leading the series by a healthy margin. “RESULTS”
It seems that the Wind Gods were just having fun with us. We would start the countdown starter two minutes prior to each race with plenty of wind but at the end of the two minutes the breeze would disappear. No one to yell at and no one to foul, just motionless for a bit. The photo tells it all “SILENT”.
This Saturday will be the Squaw Island Regatta where I am calling for a mostly sunny day with winds out of the north northwest at 9 knots and a pleasant tempature of 78 degrees for a high. It will be a great day for RC racing.
Hope to see everyone for the regatta and cookout following.
