Racing was fun, fun, fun (except for the "floater" Sunday (Race 2 -- and last).

I've got to admit, even though the drive was long ... the racing was worth it and so was the PARTY. Thanks Nigel and volunteers!

Friday had two races with light breezes shifting 180 degrees between race 1 and two. Some trapeezing on race 2 but mostly light winds with shifts all around.

Saturday had 4 races with winds building through the day to 14-15 knots and modest gusts.

Sunday racing started at 10 AM with 10-12 knots for race 1, but instantly the winds died for race 2. 0-1 knots. The race was abandoned.

For me, I was pleased with my results. Friday in light air I finished 5th in both races. On Saturday as the winds picked up I did better recording 2-2's, 3, 4. And Sunday while the wind was up I finished 3.

This is a great regatta ... so many boats on the course at the same time made for interesting tactics as we raced....oh yea, there were visible obstructions in the lake .... exposed shallows (ie land). I think JC/JW can vouch for that ... as they went aground while double trapping. Neither claimed to see the orange buoy marking the shoal (even though this happened on Sunday...the buoy had been there all weekend!) Yikes. They're both okay.
