Day	Date	Start Time	Location	Type	Name	Racing?	Results	Comments
Wed	May 8	7PM	LH	JAM	Brier Patch Series #1 of 3	Y	DNS	No Race — Postponed.  See makeup date:  7/7/2013
Wed	May 15	7PM	LH	JAM	Brier Patch Series #2 of 3	Y	3rd	It blew 25 all day and then subsided to 10-15 by the start of the race.  W/L to R14 and back.  Beautiful night, and we sailed well.  Nice to be back on the water.
Sun	May 19	10AM	Bay	SPIN	Brier Patch Series 1 & 2 (2 races)	Y	4th & 5th	Two light-air spinnaker races.  Due to wind shifts the second race was a reach-reach race!  We sailed very well, beating several fast boats, and very close to the leaders in corrected times.
Wed	May 22	7PM	LF	JAM	Brier Patch Series #3 of 3	Y	6th	A dying-air triangle.  Winds just too light.  Not our night.
Sun	May 26	9AM	LH/Lake	SPIN	Lighthouse Race (Brier Patch 3) — 14.4 miles	Y	6th	The winds stayed mainly light through the race, and the lake was little lumpy from the the day before, so the upwind legs were slow for us.
Wed	May 29	7PM	Bay	SPIN	Venture Fasteners Spring Series #1	Y	5th	1.5nm W/L 2x in about 12-14 kts of breeze.  It was a beautiful night for sailing, and we sailed well.
Sun	June 2	10AM	Bay	SPIN	Venture Fasteners Spring Series #2 and #3 of 3	N	DNC	20-30 kts of breeze.  Too breezy.  We chose to stay on land.  The second race was cancelled anyway and will be made up in July.  See 7/10/2013 for makeup results.
Wed	June 5	7PM	LH	JAM	Hilbrich Electric Summer #1 of 3	N	DNC	20+ again.  And again we decided to stay in port.
Sun	June 9	10AM	Bay	JAM	Hilbrich Electric Summer #2 & #3 of 3	Y	4th & 4th	A beautiful day for sailing, and a light air crew.  We sailed well in both races.
Wed	June 12	7PM	Bay	JAM	Regatta De La Femmes #1	Y	DNF	Our crew, helmed by Kim, started but no one finished.  The winds died after they rounded the first mark, and the time limit expired on everyone.
Sun	June 16	10AM	Lake	SPIN	Gerry’s 8th Street Deli Summer Sizzler Series #1 &2 of 5 AND Gilmore Cup #1 & 2 of 3	Y	DNC	First the races were moved to the bay due to high winds (25+).  Then the racing was cancelled (which is good, because we were ducking them anyway).
Wed	June 19	7PM	Bay	JAM	Blake Family Heatwave #1 of 3	Y	6th	A beautiful night for sailing.  ENE @10.  Our class did a nice short triangle.  It’s a very competitive fleet, so once again our place doesn’t indicate how well we sailed.
Sat	June 22	TBA	Lake	SPIN	Interclub –Erie to Port Dover, ON	Y	4th	Recap soon.
Sun	June 23	TBA	Lake	SPIN	Interclub — Long Point Bay Race	Y	4th	Recap soon.
Mon	June 24	TBA	Lake	SPIN	Interclub — Dover to Port Colborne	Y	4th	Recap soon.
Tue	June 25	TBA	Lake	SPIN	Interclub — Port Colborne to Buffalo	Y	7th	Recap soon.
Wed	June 26	TBA	Lake	SPIN	Interclub — Buffalo Triangle	Y	1st	The perfect race for us:  Upwind, Close Reach, Spinnaker Reach, Broad Spinnaker Reach in 10-12 knots of breeze.  Plus, our strategy turned out to be correct.  Very satisfying fleet win.
Interclub series finish 3rd in Fleet out of 9 and 26th of 52 in the Overalls.
Sun	June 30	10AM	Lake	JAM	Blake Family Heatwave #2 and #3 of 3	N	DNS	We didn’t race.  We had already done a lot of lake racing in the past week.
Sun	July 7	10AM	Bay	JAM	Brier Patch #1 of 3 (makeup) and Hertel & Brown Aquatherapy #1 of 3	Y	3rd and 3rd	Two W/L 2x around races in 12 knots of breeze.  We sailed very well, though our second start was challenged when we were a little early and got stuck between two boats.  But we made up for it on the 2nd leg.
Wed	July 10	7PM	Bay	SPIN	Venture Fasteners #3 of 3 (makeup)	Y	Cancelled	No Race.  Big storm blew through right before the race.  So the makeup may have to be made up.
Fri	July 12	7PM	Bay	JAM	Regatta De La Femmes #2	N	DNC	Our crew were busy that night.
Sun	July 14	10AM	Bay	SPIN	Gerry’s Deli Summer #3, #4, #5 and Gilmore Cup #3 of 3	Y	4th, 4th, 3rd	This was a “Regatta Day,” a full series in one day.  Three relatively short W/L 2x around races.  We sailed well in all three races and were very happy with the results.
Wed	July 17	7PM	Bay	JAM	Hertel & Brown Aquatherapy #2 of 3	Y	1st	A beautiful night for sailing, a decent breeze, a short triangle course, and our full crew.  Everything came together and we sailed very well!  Nice feeling.
Fri	July 19	730PM	Bay/Lake	SPIN	Night Lighthouse Race	N	DNC	A lot of wind for a night race (18-25) plus thunderstorms in the area.  Decided not to sail.
Wed	July 24	7PM	Bay	JAM	Hertel & Brown Aquatherapy #2 of 3	Y
