Log of Alberg 30 #262 on 14 July 2017

A high pressure system has been parked over the mid-Atlantic since 10 July. The high pressure, heat, and humidity has shutdown the winds. Readings at the Annapolis weather buoy have often been Force 1 and 2. No more. Consequently, little sailing this week. 2017 Wednesday Night Races were cancelled this week due to a lack of wind. At the end of the day today, finally got the thunderstorms and low pressure front required to break the heat.
