Sept 6

Cloudy calm morning... hours before Tropical Storm Hannah arrives. Out to VIVA on Hull YC whaler- VIP style -Thanks Brooke!

Course B- Long 1.0 Heading 245 First gun at 12:15- start 28.47 min after first gun. Breeze fills in SSE. Sun peeked through and it became hot!

No spinnaker (cruising class) with some new crew.

Shamrock barreling down on VIVA as we approach the finish line. They passed us and beat us by 13 seconds.

VIVA got 2nd place in B fleet out of 21 boats to Big Bird who stayed out front and never looked back. 9th place overall out of 94 boats.

Excellent party as usually! Hull YC won the Great Chase YC trophy!
