Galveston Bay Night Race

Hunter 340 Baytown TX

Like WayneH said in his post, the first leg was into a 15 to 20 knots apparent wind with rainbows in front of us. Thought we might catch up a little with a broad reach on the second leg, but the wind turned almost as we made the mark and the second leg was into the wind, too. The wind died to nothing on the third leg and we had no chance to finish by the time limit and decided to abandon the race and motored in.

Second night race in a row, Almost full moon, so there was some light when our battery bank died. Not sure how quick I'm going to be to sign up for the next night race. I don't like being the thing that goes bump in the night.
