Good wind and a fine effort on a busy night by the bosuns/volunteer race committee.

Our racing program depends on Race Committee Volunteers signing up, and showing up. When insufficient RC volunteers are expected (i.e. not all slots have been filled), or if volunteers have not shown up, the RC will postpone ashore.
