We were absolutely delighted to have Lily and Molly Garrett race with us! As the next generation of the Voelz family sailing dynasty, they've already long been a part of the camaraderie among our sailors, volunteers, and their families. We now extend them a warm welcome to the race course itself and all the excitement, thrills, chills, and spills that comes with it.

Our race day was fun and eventful. The “gourmet” volunteer crew of Jack and Sandi Miller, Steve and Gretchen Fisher, and Harry and Sandy Meshberger were joined this time by Steve and Gretchen’s sons, Brett and Cole Fisher. The crew officiated perfectly, as usual, and in their spare moments also dined on an array of delicious treats: cheese with various toppings, meatballs, shrimp with various dips, fresh fruit salad, grapes, and brownies. Thank you all for flawlessly running our race!

Enthusiastic cheers greeted Lily and Molly as they sailed out to the course. Variable wind velocities and patterns kept the races interesting, and of course frustrating as well. You know, like golf. We even had a capsize or two, as well as a "turtled" Y-Flyer. Doug Hale lent an invaluable assist in righting it along with a pull on a line from the safety boat—thanks!

The protest meeting was very well attended, and it was wonderful to have even further future generations of sailors joining us and providing us with plenty of smiles.

Catey Hale set up the course into the wind from the South, with help from Tom Schroeder. Beth Auld and Kevin Preuss organized the race, and Arlene Truex kept the busy "race central” port humming efficiently from morning until evening. Thanks every one!
