Several weeks after the conclusion of the CYC Center Sound Series, the results have been updated. In the new results Absolutely retired post-race from the CYC Three Tree Pt event, which shifted us up to second in class, fifth for the race. This gave us a much needed point in the overall standings and we finished ahead of Terremoto in our Division, taking first place. It does not change the (unofficial) overall standings with Terremoto in first and Hamachi second.
The rumor: We don't know exactly why this happened, but we heard that Absolutely retired after sailing into "the box" at the start of the race. How it happened: Absolutely, after charging us on a port / starboard at the start of the race, continued on before tacking and cut through "the box" - which is a "no go zone" navigation channel at the outflow of the Ballard Locks. We saw them do this but didn't complain. Further, they called a foul in this incident and we did our 360. Apparently they must have felt guilty...? We may never know. But we like the end result!
