The Casco Bay Fiasco ended with sun and breeze. Thru fog and light wind and contending with tide the boats took off on three different course choices. Congrats to Phoenix for getting a narrow victory over Tamarack. They went started at different marks and went opposite directions. It came down to 4 minutes of corrected time. Well done to all the sailors who came out for this adventure!
