BSC RACE RESULTS
PRO: Kent Irwin       The Ironman was the second stop on the J/22 South East Circuit. With 8 boats racing in a shifty 4-8 knot breeze, connecting the dots was rucial. Bill Harshman found the first puff and never looked back to take the bullet in the first race. The wind filled in a bit for the next 2 races, but remained shifty and the leeward mark roundings got pretty interesting. One of Galen Freeman’s two bullets on Saturday came after he rounded clean as a whistle on the inside of a 5 boat pinwheel at the last leeward mark. Everyone else felt lucky just to escape without trading any paint. With nerves of steel, Team Shazaam took advantage of the gap left by the other boats, and snuck inside at the last minute. After day one, Galen was solidly in first, but only 3 points separated second from sixth.

Heading in after the racing Galen inquired about the availability of ice at the club. That could mean only one thing—he had brought his infamous two-cycle blender! After dinner,  Juke Box Jim (joined by BSC member Terry Waldron) played guitar and took request. Intermittently the sound of the two-cycle was heard above the music.

On Sunday morning the breeze arrived bright and early with a steady
10-15 out of the west. The courses were longer, but the racing stayed
tight. In the two races on Sunday, Wayne Cassady and Bob Blythe took the
bullets, but Galen finished near top in both races to stay in first
place overall.
