Community - The Heart of Antiquity
Yacht Club hosts Tall Ships Race
Saturday August 29th saw a fleet of majestic Tall Ships line up in Lagoon for several races.
The course was lengthy, and took the ships through many watery sims.
The first race of the day was cannon - free.
Admiral Bridget Jennings and Captains BelAmi Runningbear, Scurvy Ragu, and Joh Solo sailed swiftly through the course.
Capt Ragu won this event, followed quickly by Adm. Jennings & Capt Runningbear.
Joh Solo was praised for his effort. It was his first race event here in Antiquity, and he completed the course, even though he came last. I hope that he joins us again soon.
The 2nd race saw Capt's Aleks Piers & Theophilus DeCuir line up with the others. (Capt Solo did not enter this one.)
Cannons were permitted, once the ships had cleared Lagoon (this helps to reduce lag whilst the ships are establishing speed.)
Many a shot were fired in Sea, and as the ships approached Port Royal.
Capt Piers appeared to lose speed when her vessel became woundedin Port Royal, but she was able to gather momentum and continue the race.
Capt Ragu was shot down & sunk in Port Royal, leaving Adm. Jennings to take the lead.
Adm. Jennings sailed over the finish line in 1st place, with Capt Runningbear coming in 2nd, and Capt DeCuir 3rd.
A thouroughly thrilling race to behold!
Well done to all, and thank you for your participation & assistance.
Please join us for our next race. Spectators are most welcome.
A viewing platform will be provided in close proximity to both the start & finish lines.
(A race course map should be available by then too. It was unavailable this week due to carrots. And tomatoes. Spring has arrived in my garden in Harbor, and I'm afraid that I simply lost track of time.)

TY Bridget & Joh.
I shall endeavour to post up to date articles directly from my Yacht Club Journal to you each week.
I'm afraid that my entries have been most inconsistant.
I DO lose track of time when I am pottering about my garden!
