If everyone hangs in the club all afternoon self-lubricating the party tonight should be killer!

Lots of wind and waves rolling down the lake, huge chop between races opted me out after race 1(Mosley out...), but the fleet sailed on, flipped over, but all came back to the beach grinning. Great day today, see you at Spring Fever!

The racing was a lot of fun today. I got in a nice pitchpole, just to rinse off, and I learned quite a bit on the water. Great regatta!

On Saturday we went out on the keelboat and were only one of a handful to actually finish. A Pinnacle 30 blew its mainsail out and shrimped their spin in a broach that blew it away. Another J boat had its jib shreded to tatters, while a C&C99 had its steering cable snapped under load and the emergency tiller was simply too loaded for the skipper to be able to handle.
Sunday was more of the same... and we had a part time stint as Geologists. Twice :-/
Waaay too cold to be on the cat.
Take it to Monosailor.com. This is a catamaran site. It was plenty chilly, but I'm sure it was colder and windier and whatever else'er farther south where you were.

I think this is right F16-1 Oley / Joanna 2 Jody A Cat 1 Todd Hart 2 Mosley 3 Carey H16 1- Jack / Gary 2- Me / Hannah 3- James/ Loyd Hey! I know we spent some time cleaning the bottom of the hulls, rinsing the sails/trampoline, and inspecting the water depth by the dam (which is over 30' deep BTW)...but Zander/Kohl raced all three races!
