The Roar At The Shore ll was more like a whimper today. With overcast skies and temperatures in the low sixties and light wind out of the East North East at 5 mph, the racing began around 10:00am. Mike Campbell kept the races going as quick as he could considering the wind or lack thereof. After lunch the wind did increase to around 8mph out of the proffered direction ESE.We did sets of three and broke for 15 minutes all day, except for lunch.The skies opened up to the predicted rain around 1:30pm, so we sailed until there were 12 races and called it a day around 2:30pm. So after two throw outs here are the scores:
1-Jamey Betz. 18 points
2-Dave Ramos. 27 points
3-Danny Thomas 29 points
4-Harry Mote. 36 points
5-Scott Graf. 56 points
6-Jim Flach. 58 points
7- Dave Branning 65 points
8-Roger Baldwin. 71 points
9-Dave Hammett 78 points
10-Fred DeSantis 86 points
11-Dom. Bonanno 91 points
12-Cape May Ray. 93 points
13-Bill Sysyn. 122 points
We're hoping to sail at least six or more races tomorrow, hope the wind will cooperate and the threat of rain holds off.
Day two began much like Saturday, overcast and cool. The one exception was the sighting of Jerry Franko, AKA George Costanza, which was quite a surprise since we had a steady drizzle. We put him right to work before he could do yet another mic drop.... Back to the important business, Jamey Betz reeled off four bullets, 3 seconds, and 1 each third and fourth to rule not only the day but the entire regatta. We can still hear him saying "I killed them." The top three remained the same, Betz, Ramos and Thomas, the only position change was fourth and fifth. Jim Flach, sailing his newly painted silver bullet and DT sails, moved ahead of Harry Mote. Before I post the results I'd like to thank our RD, Mike Campbell, Bill Ewing, score keeping and Jerry Franko, Food and Drinks. Without their help this regatta could not of never happened. Thanks again guys!
We sailed 21 races with three throw outs, here are the final results:
Jamey Betz 31 points
Dave Ramos 46 points
Danny Thomas 48 points
Jim Flach 76 points
Harry Mote 96 points
Scott Graf 113 points
Dave Hammett 133 points
Dave Branning 147 points
Dom. Bonanno 151 points
Roger Baldwin 152 points
Fred DeSantis 153 points
Cape May Ray 171 points
Bill Sysyn 191 points
