Half moon bay race?

[bobwalden]

Is the race on for the 12th?

Yes. Patience, grasshopper.

Not sure what's up with comms this year but yep, jump on in:

SSS Half Moon Bay sign-ups (https://jibeset.net/JACKY000.php?RG=T005557969)

SI's are posted! It sounds like you might need a dinghy if you're anchoring out.

If the HMBYC isn't serving dinner on Saturday night and we can't gather for awards, etc. what are skippers planning to do? Does anyone know anything about our options down there?

[bobwalden]

I’m not 100% on going, depends on forecast. But if I go, my 1st thought is ketch Joanne. They’ve been serving outside. Other than that, I might just take a big pressure cooker of chowder and stay on a mooring.

Or turn and burn if the winds reachy...

We are looking forward to seeing you all Saturday!

Well, our clubhouse remains closed, but we will have the bathrooms and showers open for you (access is in the rear of the event center), and our large deck and outside picnic tables are open for your use.

Currently San Mateo County COVID rules don’t allow us to sell drinks separate from food, but we are planning to offer bottled beer or wine with slices of pizza. Not as swanky as previous dinners but it’s something in these crazy times! (Also due to our liquor license rules, you aren’t allowed to bring your own alcohol to consume on our deck or tables.)

Hope you all have a great sail to Half Moon Bay!

Fair winds,
Karen

So air quality looking really bad. Do we have a plan/time for cancelling the race?

[BobJ]

The consensus in the skippers' meeting was to leave it up to the skippers to drop out of they don't like how it looks or how they're feeling.

Thank you, Greg!

[everydaysailor]

Visibility in the central bay is nada - ok, maybe 50 feet and has been all morning.
Even with a mask the air is tough on the body - tomorrow into Sunday looks the same or worse.
Rescheduling would be prudent.
Thank you for the effort.
Take care everyone.

This was from Wednesday at 11:00 AM sailing north toward Angel Island. I needed my headlamp.

My diver called at 0830, hoping I'd pull the plug so he wouldn't have to clean the hull. His compressor draws in the ambient air.

I did. I'll see you guys in Vallejo, if we're all still here.

First world problems - my thoughts are with the firefighters and those who have lost homes and loved ones. I won't even mention the political crisis we're in (well, I just did).

Your diver just walked by on his way to someone else’s boat. I gave him this.

[BobJ]

You gave him my lemon things? That's worth more than his fee.

But thanks - he's earning them today.

...and he still dove Andy’s boat.

Btw, both the yra and the j105 regattas have cancelled tomorrow due to poor air conditions.

Question for those with experience in HMB:

I had previously planned a sail to HMB on 9/26, planning to tie up, moor, or anchor. With the race now running that day, how congested would you anticipate it will be there? Is space an issue after these races?

Thank You

Gosh Mike, you should consider entering Emerald in the Half Moon Bay race. Peter Jones has sailed Emerald on so many SSS races that Emerald is trained to get to any of the destinations.

I hope Emerald treats you well!

PS. I remember Peter Jones and Emerald from the early '80's!!

So where is the Zoom link for the Skippers meeting hiding?
