Sunday Sept 20 

1 Race 

The weather was cold to start the day, but became increasingly warmer. The wind was nothing varying to zero (in a puff) from up river. Jim had to start a race by one o'clock, so he waited for the tide to "stop" and started a really short race to a mark up river, back to two marks (gate) by the club and return to the committee boat. It was a good call by Jim.
