Make It Simple, Sassa/Frass.  Instinct Prospers

(Mystic) -  Race # 6 in the books for the Spring Series and if your mind hurts a bit today, remember, "S" is not Silver Eel!  And what's with the Class One boats jumping out front and riding the pressure?  They had the RC worried we might have Starboard and Port roundings at the same time at Intrepid.  No fears.  In the end, just another wet night and a bit of a change up with "S" for Starboard roundings, "P" for Port.    What?  2 protests pending?   Boys, puleaze! Mind your manners!

The RC found a Northerly when we arrived on the scene at 5:15, then SE at 120, then East at 90.   Where's it going next?  Big ebb current all night.   No, there is no hiding behind GLP this night.   M I S s/f I P.   Good pressure all night, (7-12 knots) current wasn't too bad and only the dampness spoiled a solid evening on the water.   Reinhard Sarges' Salud looked strong grabbing the gun for Class One, but Ted Parker in his Sans Souci Ensign grabbed a 1st in Class and 4th in Fleet.   Wild Horses, Plummet and Balance were the top 3 in Fleet.  Say what you will about PHRF, the gun boats for Class One and Three, calculated out to a 13th place tie in fleet. Salud (174) and Patriot (94).  I'm always amazed when that happens.

Class Four has turned into an exciting range war with the Field and Connor families on Leda holding the edge in their Melges 24...another 1st last night.  Prescott Littlefield was the class of the Vipers, only :10 seconds behind in Area 51.  In Class Three, Jon Bewabe worked his crew hard to grab the 1st in a class that finsihed less than a minute apart.  

Of course, your mind might hurt a bit more if you stopped at the Seahorse reopening last night.  While the crowd did not spill out into the parking lot, the Ocean Pony has a fresher look.  And where the heck is the men's room?
