Addendum: 2022-05-24 -- right. with all your help on Friday, (plus the gathered witnesses onshore) getting away from the dock should be a scene from the Marx Bros go yachting. And later, backing into a slot at the dock should be even more entertainment. Without stops in Rowayton or Noroton, and including the first 2 nm at 5 kts. harbor speed, it takes <=40 minutes total to run from Rex to Bell 32. So, we can even leave Rex at 1 PM if that’s preferable and still see the smaller classes (though we don’t really give a shit about those miserable tubs, do we?). Depending on the weather; we can follow the A boats (our crowd🙄🤦🙄) and then peel off at around Sheffield to head in. kapeesh?
