Results: The race started in very light wind.  Everyone struggled to get out of the river, but then the wind filled in and we were moving along nicely toward Rapid Rock (the first mark).  Aries was in the lead at that point and about 100 yards from the mark when the wind died again, the tide started to ebb and an approaching storm line popped up on weather radar.  The fleet decided to head back in at that point.  After a brief rain shower, we reconvened on the club deck for fish tacos and beer.  A disappointing race, but a fun day overall.
