Day 1 - Saturday May 26  - It was a hot one (temperature, not racing speed) on Saturday, sunny with light winds and a high of 89 degrees. PRO Jeff Storck barely got off three races before it was time to  come in, with the first race shortened to just one leg for Cats, Lightnings, and Interlakes, and postponed indefinitely for the Albacores.  The winds did pick up enough to run two more races on a 2-loop windward-leeward course with northerly and northeasterly 8 MPH winds, and strangely, at 4 PM, when racing was over for the day, the winds became southerly, so we had to tack home.    The river flow was way down, at 4,500 CFS (gage height 3.3 ft), and the water temperature 81 degrees.  Low tide was at 11:34 AM.

Actual winds at National Airport were:

   10 AM       11 AM        Noon         1PM         2 PM        3 PM       4 PM       5 PM
     Calm          N 7            V 3            E 3           NE 7         N 8           S  8          S 7

Day 2 - Sunday May 27  - What a perfect day for sailboat racing, weather-wise!  We had steady southerly breezes at 12 MPH, allowing a long windward-leeward course on this hazy spring day on the Potomac.  PRO Jeff Storck, with drivers Bill Buck and Joe Warren, got off four races in good order.  Bob Astrove, Bob Wilbur, and Piercarlo Brunino  joined the four Lightnings that raced on Saturday to make a 7-boat Lightning field for the regatta. 

Actual winds at National Airport were:

   10 AM       11 AM        Noon         1PM         2 PM        3 PM       4 PM       5 PM
     S 9           SSE 7        S 14          S 12         S 10         S 12        S  12       S 12

High temperature was 86 degrees.  A thunderstorm rolled through the area at 6:30 PM, but we were long gone by then.
