Cline Wins Opening Log Race

By Bill Varie

Our first log race was held on April 12 which started in near ideal conditions but quickly deteriorated to a wet-wild unpredictable race.  A 20- knot Santa Ana wind suddenly appeared after the start of the race so all of our preliminary calculations simply blew away.  The result were some pretty lousy times for all of us. The most challenging part of the race for me was getting my boat in the slip during the Santa Ana and a filled guest dock to my starboard...but the bow thruster saved the day.
A tip of the hat to our leader, Jim Cline, who won aboard Nunziata with an error factor of 2.2868 percent.
