Corrected, Corrected Results for Crusing Class

O.K. one more time, this time correctly (never have a "word" person do math - obviously it is way beyond us!!!!)

1st place - Pueleche with a time of 59.29 (includes 1 hour of motoring allowance)
2nd place - Ya Shure with a time of 61.21.48 (includes 40 minutes of motoring allowance)
3rd place - Rendezvous with a time of 63.11.45 (includes 3 hours of motoring allowance)

This should be the final correction of the results!!!!!

My apologies to cruising class for the earlier errors.

CORRECTED RESULTS (again)



Somehow the box that should have been checked to create the corrected times was not (probably operator error). The above shows the corrected results with the proper corrected times. Sorry about the confusion from yesterday.

And the Winner is....

With a sweep of First to Finish, First Overall and First in Class:
Riva, with a corrected time of 1day, 5 hours, 18 minutes and 5 seconds

Congratulations Riva.

Aja drifts across the finish

Congratulations to Aja as the last boat to finish the 2009 Oregon Offshore.

With a great deal of fortitude, Aja has spent over the last hour just trying to make it to the finish from the outside of the Ogden Point breakwater. After a short discussion with the RC about the effect of motoring (it's a disqualification for all but the cruising class) Aja made the decision like a true sailboat racer to keep racing.

Since the wind all but shut down over an hour ago, this has meant that the finish committee has been watching them bob like a cork for all this time.

Like the Old Salt, Aja kept at it until they finally crossed the finish at 2:27.

Get a good night sleep, Aja you deserve it.

The End is Here, Almost

Rendezvous crossed the line with a little breeze behind her. She reported 4 knots as she turned the bend into Ogden Point.

Ya Shure was 10 minutes behind her and came in strong. I know she finished with a smile on her face, a little cold and ready for a good sleep.

The air is crisp and all is well. It was a great day for the racers today. The weather was beautiful throughout the day. Sunshine and very little clouds in the sky.

Currently Aja is just shy of Ogden Point. There was a change in the weather, the wind is now gone. Aja has informed me they are doing everything they can to move her, including blowing on the sails.
