Lake Eustis - Florida District Championship


We've been looking forward to this weekend for a while and we planned to leave a little earlier on Friday, but lasted work longer than expected, so we did not depart from Dunedin till ~4:30 pm. With the threat of Tampa's rush hour looming, we chose an alternate route north to Hwy 54, over to I-75, then up to 44 East to Eustis!

It was dark when we arrived (~7:00, but folks were milling about and it was good to connect with the Flying Scot group again.

Hello Campers!

Dinner was at Angelo's (tradition here in Eustis)with Harry, his crew, Adam (new Scot owner)Adam's dad, Steve, and Team Wake and Break (John and Joe)much fun!

Impressive sheets, comfortable rooms, Olympics on a nice TV, and good sleep at the Holiday Inn Express in Tavares. Nice breakfast, too. No

Saturday Feb. 20

Forecasts called for light air, and a comfortably late start was scheduled at 11:00 so we didn't have to rush to lake this morning (thank goodness!!)

Interestingly, wind from the West, not the predicted East, so further postponement allowed for more socializing and preparation.

It was indeed, light, but surprisingly steady, although you couldn't tell by looking at the water. Ripples were patchy and uneven, not representative of what was happening above the water.

3 races today, more planned for tomorrow (slightly more wind, too!!)

Sunset celebration with rum punch (complements of Ray Laguna) after yummy dinner at the club. Later, off to The Trough for oysters and more fun!

Rum Punch Ray in action

BTW- we suck at blogging, as we didn't get a copy of the results (probably on purpose)
Go TEAM TAMPA!!
