Just a quick note to say I hope everyone had a nice Easter Day, dispite this pesky cold front. As for yesterday at the lake the cold front came in right on time with both barrels open. After getiing off a total of 6 races all day long with not much more than just a breath of air, it all ended with the last race being sailed and survived in with a blast of 20mph of North wind at 4:00 pm on the nose. As it turned into a survival race and the rain coming in we call the day and decided to save the clubhouse and the furniture and run for safety. We did have our entertainment of Bud Garcia having to rescue his demasted with the resuce boat and loosing an oar at the same time. Bob Taylor once again had done our Race Committe work and didn't have a lot of wind to work with all day. This really makes it hard to do this job! Through out the day with only running a Gold Fleet this year of 10 boats, JK and John Oliveira were through out the day running away from the fleet. Seems these new sails that most of us had purchased and rigged were'nt made for the light to nothing wind. Of course sometimes lunch is the best part of the WSC's regattas. With all the fajitas and fixens one could eat, we did not fall short in the food department, in keeping with our tradition. Thanks to everyone who brought food and desserts for all of us. Of course someone needs to set all this food and the clubhouse us, so of course there's Mama Seta, Charlotte and Paul Kahl on duty for the day. I brought back an old favorite to do the BBQ duties with Rick Phillips. Thanks to Terry Lindeman once again for the great trophies. And I can't stop here without mentioning all the exotic beers brands that folks brought for registrations. There's still some left in the fridge if you come out soon enough, it's free for the members anyway. So as we close the 8th Annual OD-39 Regatta, we can now look foward to the Sunfish Fiesta Regatta in 2 weeks on the 24th. Please plan on coming out for this once a year annual event and don't forget to bring your Sunfish and enjoy the day of racing.

 

  Remember we're sailing R/C now on Tuesday evening till dark!
