We had a great turnout of 10 boats for our August fleet race. The heat was definitely the "hot" topic as the index was at or near 100. The only saving grace was there was breeze, a Westerly at around 6-10. The water was relatively smooth with the exception being boat wakes.We unfortunately had a couple members feeling the effects of the extreme temp, Lisa Hayward and Dean Bell both "seeing black" for brief spells and Lisa needed a assist into the club cool off, ( Thanks Kim!!)
The attendee's ( by hull # ) Jeff Linton and Dean Bell, #38, Dave and Kim Thinel, #812, Doug King and Ann Tihansky, #2069, Roy Burnett and Ryan Flynn, #2166, Dave Bell and Susan Cintron, #4156, Mike Douglass and Terry, #4305, Andy and Lisa Hayward, #4318, Mark and Shannon Taylor, #4321, Paul and Leslie Silvernail, #5026, Mike and Stacey Roberts, #5544.
Yes that's the long lost Mike and Stacy Roberts
The racing was challenging, more "connect the puffs'' than shifty, the right seemed to work out more than the left ( ask Andy and Mark about winning the left.) Jeff and Dean, despite the elderly state of their baby blue sloop, took no mercy on the rest of the fleet winning three of the four races.

Dave and Kim won the last race of the day. Full results will be posted on www.scotsrock.us soon, but it was Linton /Bell 1st, Dave and Kim, 2nd, Paul and Leslie 3rd.
The gang hit the pool post race, (it almost seemed cold at first!) Then invaded the Caprice Bistro for dinner and "attitude adjusters."
Next fleet race is Saturday, September 1st, (Labor Day) We are having separate keeper trophy's, (custom hand made one of a kind) for this event. Killer party to follow at DIYC. If you plan to attend the party please RSVP to tell the social director the covered dish you plan to bring. The fleet is providing hamburg's, hotdog's and beer.
