"Moody's Booty" sails in the race earlier this
season |
Mike
Moody had Anna Hamilton in the front and Doug Carlson int he
middle Sunday. Together they made "Moody's Booty" the winner
in two of the three races and took second in the other race.
A light and variable
west wind came in just as the skipper's meeting was about to
start, and held for the remainder of the afternoon - although
at times, some boats sat with no wind in their sails while
others were sailing well.
Race one found "Moody's
Booty" and "Wind Dancer" battling it out for the lead. Then
coming to the last windward mark, the "Booty" took the lead
and held on to the end. Blaine Severin and crew sailed a terrific
final downwind leg to pass "Wind Dancer" and finish second.
"Wind Dancer" took
command of the second race early and extended its lead on each
leg to wind handily. Mike Moody was second and Blaine Severin's
"UFP" third.
Race three began
in a nice breeze with Moody and Dolan exchanging the lead position
several times. Moody took charge just before the windward mark
and sailed on to the leeward mark while the remainder of the
boats sat waiting for wind. When the wind filled in for everyone
else, it was the "Booty's" time to wait. Soon "Oh m", "Wind
Dancer" and "Moody's Booty" were all converging on the windward
mark ready to go downhill to the finsh. Mike Moody and crew
got around first, but were rolled by Dolan. However, "Wind
Dancer" was never able to establish a clear ahead position
that enabled them to gybe for the mark. Moody held on for the
win. Meanwhile, Ron Marshall had his boat headed for the finish
line and nipped "Wind Dancer" for second place.
