We were delighted to welcome two new sailors to the Grandview Yacht Club; Lily Garrett (fourth generation Voelz sailing dynasty) who crewed for Laura Garrett, and Nick Kotterman who crewed for Tom Cartwright. We hope they return often and captain their own boats soon!
We are thankful for our safety boat volunteers Jim Riffle and Lisa Duret, Catey Hale for setting up the race course, and Kevin Preuss and Beth Auld for organizing the race. Also, for our gourmet Committee Boat crew of Jack and Sandi Miller, Steve and Gretchen Fisher, and Harry and Sandy Meshberger. They took the wind’s effects in stride with a delay in starting of the first race because of two overturned sailboats, and the need to re-anchor the Committee Boat. They managed to do a superb job of officiating the races while dining on turkey pesto pinwheels, hummus dip with fresh veggies, fresh fruit salad, chips and for dessert, chocolate/toffee ice cream bars. Lately they have been assisting the blog editor with headlines for the races they officiate. This time with the description of the range of winds experienced during the race as seen above. With the exception of the “blah” period, winds and weather were ideal for racing with highs in the seventies low humidity and sunshine.
We had a big showing for the after race gathering at Arlene’s. Thanks Arlene!
