Sailing race - with a twist!

It appeared to just be another Wed night race
 
 Good crew
 Lots of boats



 But where was our 2nd mark (buoy)??
 A lot of boats were looking...
 Ahh, the coast guard caught it!
 They pulled it out to do some maintenance on it... crazy!  Had to be the one we all had to round!
 So we had to make a large pass around the entire ship!
 Some boats cut it kinda close - as the coast guard was frantically calling our race committee; and others on the ship were waving to keep away.  We did a little larger rounding than most; with our friends in first place making the widest path.  The further behind - the closer they cut it, hmmmm
 More boats headed to the coast guard buoy!!
 
Awards time!   We got missed 1st place by 4 seconds! Ugh - probably the coast guard rounding; oh well - on to next week!!  Hopefully it won't be as crazy.
