Day 12 Sunday August 2
Woke up again to whitecaps and crashing waves at the cottage but bright blue sky and really sunny. It gets light FAR too early here, 6:15 AM and the sun is shining through the window. Missy doesn't mind.
The Women and Junior's Championships were today, and it was BLOWIN' in Sister Bay. It seemed a little less in Ephraim, the racing started at 1:00, and by 2-2:30 the wind lightened considerably (hope it stays that way for tomorrow, we have received conflicting weather reports).
We had a nice lunch, enjoying the outdoors with Al and Katie Terhune. The four of us have all the answers for everything Scot Class related! Lots of good socializing on the dock, another beautiful vacation day for us.
Ryan finished up his measurement duties today, Carrie was racing with Melanie Dunham and Carrie Berger, a reunion of an(in)famous team.
Several folks went out for a sail since it was such a nice day.
Greta Mittman, Heidi Gough and Natalie Mauney won the Women's National Championships and Stewart Draheim with crew, Bill won the Junior National Championships.
Fun Fact for the day: Harry Carpenter with Donna Scattergood won the challenger division in the North American Championships in 1978 in Riverside Yacht Club in Long Island, NY. They will be sailing together this year again and hope for some great results.
Also, in Dave and Kim's best and worst of the trip so far... Best Crew Award goes to John Wake of Deltaville, VA. He is crewing for Tom Lawton and when Tom's car broke down at the last minute in Ashville, NC, John drove from Deltaville 6 hours to pick up Tom and the boat and the two of them headed north to WI. (John forfeited a round trip plane ticket in the process). THAT'S dedication.
No pics yoday. Hoping for less wind tomorrow than they are discussing, 15 to 20 is not our thing.
