Very  little breeze on the Bay when I arrived at ILYC at 4 pm – below 5 kts. RC signaled a postponement at dock. (the flag pole yardarm collapsed on Tuesday so we had no way to signal AP there!) Navy YC phoned to update them with actions.
Underway about 4:45 .
Lime Rock in mid channel half way to Hammersmith reported 220 at 3.5 kts
By 5 pm we had 215  at 4-5 kts – outgoing current building so AP over A at about 5:16 pm.
Rose Island recorded average of 6 to 4 kts (“gust of 7 kts x 2!) between 5 and 7 pm with winds from 220 to 170 and then back. Wind had died by 7:30
Some Shields stayed out and sailed around quite nicely to windward but down wind was not so good.
Back at the Club most seemed to agree that it would have been a poor race and supported decision to” postpone to another day”.
