LABOR DAY SERIES...
Sunday September 4:
PRO Bruce McArthur and his RC ran two D2's. The first with a windward leg of .9 miles, the second with a .75 mile windward leg.
At the end of the day, we had a 5-way tie for first place, each boat with six points. This is how the top five boats finished:
Team 605 (Bob Monro, Fran Monro, Janet Grapengeter, Michael Rudnick and Kevin Marks) 5, 1
Team 633 (Bruce Kirby, Howard Seymour, Kurt Altman and Britt Hall) 1, 5
Team 506 (Scott MacLeod, Chris Daley, Peggy Hersam and TK) 4, 2
Team 619 (Lee Morrison, Susan Morrison, Mark Sullivan and Don Vasta) 2, 4
Team 690 (John Bainton, Oliver Schulz, Gregg Delany and Court Crane) 3, 3
And, with the tie breakers, the above is how they are sitting after the first day of racing.
Monday September 5:
A bit of a rough start for racing on Labor Day. Wind out of the north (median direction was 20ยบ) gusting into the 20's. Unfortunately, Volunteer had a very difficult time getting the anchor to hold.
We started with 10 Sonars and 3 Ideals. Almost 45 minutes later, and after 3 Sonars and one Ideal retired, we were able to start our first of two races, a W2.
In the end, Team 506 got the gun, followed by Team 690 (Will Christenson replaced Oliver Schulz on 690 on Monday).
At press time third place has not been determined as a request for redress is pending.
In race two, a W1 1/2, the first two place finishers were identical with 506 taking the gun followed by 690. In this race third place went to Team Jack (633).
For the series, after four races...
1st - Team 506 with 8 points
2nd - Team 690 with 10 points
3rd - Team 633 (regardless of the outcome of the request for redress)

| Team 506: Scott MacLeod, TK, Peggy Hersam and Chris Daley |
