Matt Bounds, Bill Jeffers, Herb James and me all made the trip to Clear Lake, IA after the 16's. Mark Amico also came from NY.
Matt and Bill went to give Bob a run. Herb and I went to support the event. This was the biggest H14 Nationals in more than 25 years with 35 boats participating.
Thursday we had some rain during setup and then no rain the rest of the weekend. Friday was very windy in the midwest as the F18 guys found out. The little H14 was perfect for those conditions. I had a blast and was actually in 4th place after that day. When it lightened up for Saturday and Sunday the lighter teams ate my lunch and I dropped fast.

The div 7 guys did an great job putting on this event. They put in a lot of labor to keep the costs down.
The ladies cooked home made dinner in the yacht club and lunch was provide each day.
The Carlton Tucker award was given out Saturday night to Todd Wilson of div 7. It was a great presentation and a total surprise to him. The look on his face was priceless and something I will never forget. He was speachless(from what we were told that doesn't happen to him).
All in all it was a great low stress event that I am glad I went to support.
