This weekend is the Seattle
Yacht Club sponsored Protection Is Race. We've registered Monkeybones for
the Short Course, which is from Shilshoal up to Double Bluff buoy on the south
end of Whidbey Is and back. The list of registered boats can be found
here:
As it currently stands, with our
PHRF handicap we are ranked near the top of the short course racers, meaning we
will have to finish first.
The first start warning is at
9:00, so we will have to leave Elliott Bay Marina no later than 7:45 to give us
plenty of time to get over to Shilshoal. If people want to be picked up
at Shilshoal, we can support that (go to the boat ramp next to Golden Gardens),
but we will need to have you on board by 8:30 in order to get out and line up
with gear set. Let us know if you opt for this approach, since we will
have to leave Elliott Bay a little early to accommodate it. The
tides are favorable that day so I would expect us to cross the finish line
around 5 pm and be back at Elliott Bay Marina by 6pm - but this schedule is
entirely dependent on the winds.
I will send an email Friday
regarding gear and final logistics. Everyone should bring their own life
jacket and appropriate clothing (hopefully it will be nice). We will have
some general snacks on board, but everyone should plan on bringing specific
food / drink to cover them for the day. Shawn and I will provide beer for
post race on-the-water festivities.
Please confirm your attendance
for this weekend (or tell us if you are not coming).
See you on the water!
Jason and Shawn
