Sunday morning the breeze came through Everyone was eager to get out on the race course as there were many opportunities on the leader board. 12 knots of breeze from the SSW that continued throughout the day with gusts in the higher teens. The sun popped out in the afternoon capping off the day with the heat and humidity of a typical summer day.
