Fog Bowl

After the Fleet Captains Race was called off due to Fog the I14 decided to press on with our own race. The course was easy, leave the club, out the Eastern gap, around T2 and back to the dock. First boat with two feet on the dock wins.

Since we didn't have a race committee our starting line was between the club ferry and the dock as the 1:30 ferry backed away. I'm not sure the staff was too impressed with this started but we did the best we could...

As might have been obvious to most people that day, the Fog was really thick, only about 75m viability. This made for a bit of difficulty for most of the fleet who couldn't find T2. However in the end we made it around.... and I think we're the only ones with proof!



Haywire documented the whole race from the back of his boom... but I don't think you'll see T2.
