Good morning sailors,
Happy Labor Day, best wishes on the last day of your summer. Tomorrow marks the end of Tuesday Night racing for our Etchells Fleet 27. The start is scheduled for 5:30 and with dwindling daylight, we can’t start a race after 6:04. Looks like a beautiful night for one last race. The scoring is tight, any of the top half of the fleet has a chance to win the whole enchilada. Spectators should be on the bay to watch and root on your favorite crews.
