Apparition made it home last night at Midnight and all is well. They dropped Jim off in the C&D canal just like they did last time, but that didn't seem to add too much to the time for delivery. Leaving at 9pm on Friday, that means they made the delivery in about 51 hours. They beat us again, dang!
Looking at the results, I can see the final count shows Apparition finishing 6th out of 10 in the class. the J/100 managed to get a 1st place in the race around the island on Monday, so they got 5th place over all even though we tied in points. That makes sense, though. It's pretty hard to get a 1st place.
Congrats to all our competitors. It was some tough racing out there and they definitely earned it.

The seemingly nonsensical
Why a blog for Apparition?
Apparition is a Frers 41 built in 1988 and raced on the Chesapeake Bay by a dedicated team of sailors. With a PHRF rating of 72, we race in the A2 fleet out of Annapolis. Normally each year's campaign of Apparition involves many races around drop marks, several distance races, and (if we're feeling lucky) a trip to a major racing venue.
This year, we're racing at Block Island Race Week 2009!
There are many people (okay, family and friends) who want to keep up with us as we prepare, deliver and race Apparition. Well, here you go!
