This is not to confuse yesterdays race with a famous Marx Bros movie of the same name. The day started out by THE NUDGE reading the AccuWeather forecast calling for breezes out of the NNW shifting to the W and building to the high teens. This created concern for this informed old sailor as his comfort level is the mid teens. Oh well if he had to abandon the last race, he a least would be among the first in line for the anticipated big BBQ that was postponed from Saturday.     

Now to the races; with DIMINISHING breezes and six fleets to start in a limited time frame, the RC did a superb job of getting of three races and managing the all well, especially shorting the last race and saving a lot of agony. The Lightning Fleet fielded the most boats with eleven, the Albs with a disappointing nine (more on that later), plus the two  Vanguard 15's, a very very good turnout of Bucs and the beautiful Hamptons out in full force. A few Cats, Scots and one FJ  were there. Although it would have nice to see more sails on the river it was pleasing to see that many out enjoying a fine late Summer Day.
