John Miller shares these notes and photos from this year’s Round the County Sailboat Race…
This past weekend saw the largest fleet (113 sailboats) complete in the RTC race, which starts and finishes east of Obstruction Pass, off the southern tip of Orcas.
The race is 76 miles long, with a Saturday night overnight in Roche Harbor. This first image was shot just after the start, in 22 knots of wind, showing boats have difficulties coping with the wind, which was gusting to 30 knots.
The second image is Sunday morning, as the boats file out of RH to the start, winds at the time about 3 knots…
