Slow Boat to Aurora

Daniel, Judy, Anne, John, and Dave. We'll miss you Daniel but best of luck for your senior year!

Full Moon crew Michael Medina, Dave Pulsifer, Judy Tiffany, Anne Gustavson, Daniel Mengedoht, and skipper John Mengedoht were well-positioned for the start of the Team Spirit Duck Dodge and looking forward to having some decent wind for the race. Unfortunately, the wind faded to near-nothing approaching the Freeway buoy, leading to a large group of boats barely making way. Full Moon is usually a great light air boat but suffered greatly in the congestion. The extremely light wind continued to the Aurora buoy, though Full Moon did find a few pockets of breeze here and there.

Full Moon is caught in the pack heading for the Aurora buoy. We passed virtually all of these boats before the finish! 

Once around the Aurora buoy, there was enough wind for the Equalizer, enabling Full Moon to pass quite a few boats that had gotten by around the Freeway buoy. The drop and rounding of the AGC buoy went well and it was on to the finish line in the fading light. Light winds or not, a great time was had by all!
