Racing again was cancelled here in Rochester, NY at the US Sailing's Rolex International Women's Keelboat Championships . The forecast was for light winds today. The race committee sent us out in the morning and we sat on the water for a couple of hours before they sent us in for the day.
The race committee did provide us with some on the water entertainment. They came around and gave each boat leftover apple strudel from last night's German dinner, and a bingo card. They then called numbers over the radio until they had two winners. We didn't win.
Tomorrow is the last day of racing for the event. Hopefully we will get in at least three races, but we will find out later tonight or tomorrow morning what they intend to do. The forecast is for the breeze to be good in the morning and then to slowly decrease throughout the day.
