Our Race Committee Chair's report on PHRF 1-2
PHRF 1-2 was an outstanding race Saturday. Little short on wind, but all other factors were great. The RC had a very calm sea experience and didn't have to hold on for dear life today. Swells were more to our liking.
We got many favorable comments about Chris's selection of a windward-leeward course. Just about all racers enjoyed the approximately 2 hour course.
They seemed to like the start-finish line in the middle of the course. Most said they would like additional windward-leeward course to spice up the races.
The next PHRF 1-3 race is a June 9 river race.
Spectators are always welcome and if someone wants to ride on the RC boat or safety boat to observe the races, they are more than welcome. We had John Seymore on board the RC boat as our timer today. He has a wealth of racing experience and we hope to get him back again in the future.
Special thanks to our safety boat, FullMoon. Dan O'Meara and Ian Davidson got a great work out setting and picking up marks.
Of course, Flip Flop is grand ole RC boat. A perfect platform to run a race. Dave Weigel is such a great host it makes our RC job easy.
Thanks to all of you who help make our on the water activities so m uch fun.

May 12, 2012
.
The newest cruising update, #8, is posted
Our next cruise to Wilmington is less then a week away. Read about the Wilmington trip below and make your reservations NOW. Remember to let Dave Weigel know you will be coming. Additional sight that weekend will be the ship from Mutiny on the Bounty (I think)
If you are planning to eat out on Saturday, I would suggest you make reservations NOW as there is a big soccer game going on that weekend and I know for a fact there are no hotel rooms available.

2012 Blessing of the Fleet
Commodore Janice Duncan-Ramieh watches as Father Barry Kubler intones a blessing and sprinkles Holy Water on (or toward) a vessel during the annual Blessing of the Fleet.
The firing of a canon began the service, with some 30 vessels passing alongside the motor yacht Fine-ly to receive a blessing and a flower in the waters of the Cape Fear River off Southport.
