2011.07.05 Newcastle on Santeria

Wind was forcast to be 7 knots from the SW with gusts to 20.

Not much wind when we got out on the water.
We didn't see more than 4 knots of wind the entire night.
The waves were 1-2 ft, making it difficult to get the boat moving, very uncomfartable.

Race called as none of the 7 boats made it to the first mark in 45 minutes.

The funniest comment of the night was by Dave Ackerman on the VHF just before the race was called: "This is Silhouette, approaching the line"

We continued to near the first mark, then set the spinnaker for the 4 knot ride home.

Trip Odometer: 4.77 nm
Moving Avg: 2.1 knots
Moving Time: 02:16:17
