Nice turnout Fleet 168, 12 Scots and a 420! We had most of the regular customers present, (in no particular order). Al Thompson and Chris Torro #504, Dawn Naramore and Matt Dalton, Dan Kresge #2262, Dave Clement and Ed Ruark # 2925, Mark and Lilly Taylor and Sean Torro #2007, Dave and Kim Thinel #3998, Dave Bell and Susan Cintron #4156, Jeff and Amy Linton #4925, Paul Silvernail and Leslie Fisher #5026.
A Big welcome (or welcome back) to Tom Mcnally and Dave Thompson, #5179, Calvin Reed and daughter (sorry!) # 2069, and Steve Lewis and Mike Bogatin #3020 and Tom and Tracey Single #234.
Our lone 420 was the dynamice duo of Stu and Drew Taylor.
The early arrivers saw their reflections in the bay around noon but based on our weather prediction by Paulie Silvernail (and a light Southwesterly) the fleet shoved off around 1430. It didn't look very promising at first but it started to show sea breeze rather quickly and soon it was game on! We got off a couple pre planned practice races
before Calvins starboard clevis pin vanished. The RC gathered him up (with the help of Dave Clement) and it was back to some full races.
Race one saw 10k and probably increased a bit, this was just what DC and ER ordered and the Weapon was unleased! followed by Jeff and Amy and Tom and Dave. Race two was similar but with Big Al grabbing third. Race two was notable for Tom and Tracey zooming into the windward mark with gusto and ending on their side! # 234 was kept mast tip up by Tracey until RC provided a mast lift. The final race saw Thompson and Torro putting the lumber down followed by the Lintons and Tom and Dave.
All in all a nice day for breezey boat handiling! Have to give props to Mark and Lilly Taylor and Sean for sailing nicely out of their range! Thanks to Randy Luzier for the RC help, would have stunk without you bud!
Post race eats and frolicking poolside was good stuff, lets make this a regular deal, Yes?
Business:
We are way behind on Dues: $ 20. now, dammit.
Next Practice: June 11th, 1500.
