Welcome new sailor, George Devidze! George crewed for Tom Schroeder, and was a quick study. We hope he will be racing with us frequently.
The race was nearly cancelled given the rain coming down at the 1:00pm go/no-go decision deadline, and participants were wary. But Race Chairman Kevin's decision turned out to be a good one because shortly after 1pm the skies cleared and we had a very good wind for sailing.
Thanks to John Auld and whoever helped him set up the excellent race course in the rain. We appreciate the bravery of our Committee Boat and Safety Boat volunteers Cindy Bartlett, Bob Orben, Jim Riffle and Arlene Truex who fully expected to get wet but stayed dry and did a great job of conducting the race. And thanks to Beth Auld and Kevin Preuss for organizing everything.
The start of both races were excellent with no laggard boats. The races were speedy given the wind, but relatively uneventful. Race Results are below.
We gathered at Arlene's for our "protest meeting" and annual "sock burning" which was smokeless this year given the wet lead-up to the race. See separate post with sailing and sock related poetry that was read amid lots of other banter. Thanks Arlene for hosting us!
