Looking Ahead...

11 races are scheduled in the Invitational Cup and all races count...no throw-out!  So consistency is the key...no big mistakes, avoid being over early at the start, having to take penalty turns, etc.

The weather forecast for the rest of the regatta shows a great seabreeze day today.  The race committee may try for three more races after looking at the forecast for the remainder of the week.

Thursday is a day of change with two cold fronts arriving, a weak one in the morning followed by a stronger one in the late afternoon.  Winds much lighter from the south-southwest, but swinging around to the northwest with a vengeance (and some rain) as the second front moves through.

Friday should be cool and sunny with a gusty northwesterly breeze in the morning, lightening a bit in the afternoon.

On Saturday, still cool, winds around to the north-northeast, veering to east-southeast during the day and getting lighter.  May be difficult to get in a race later in the day.
