“IT SURE FELT LIKE ARUBA”
The 10 -12 knot winds were all we needed to keep us cool on this Sunday of racing. Straight out of the south, it was easy to set a course that would be easy on the vision impaired. Although we all believed that the steady breeze would allow us to use our “A” sails it proved not to be the case. After the first race we all changed to “B” sails and remained there for the following 6 races.
WE were fortunate to have several visitors join us for the afternoon. Dave Horrocks was up from Florida, Dave ? was there, boat #20 from ? joined us, and Anna & Jonathan were in town. ( There was no time to catch all the names.) After watching the first few races Jonathan jumped in with a spare boat and scored two wins and a second. “RESULTS”
At six O’clock we packed the boats away and began to enjoy a trove of wines that Anne wanted to school us on. As we looked out on to the water we noticed Christine Brown out sailing her Wianno Senior (a 25ft gaff rigged sloop) vintage sailboat back and forth across the lake. She was nice enough to answer her phone and within minutes she was at the dock offering a ride in exchange for the wine we had not yet consumed.
“Piracy on the high seas” As the sun was going down and all the wines had been consumed we sailed back to shore and modern day life.
Next week we will not be sailing so that all might enjoy all the 4TH of July activities. Our next race date will be July 10th 4-6pm again off the south dock. We all would like nothing better than to repeat this past Sunday.
Thank You Christine!!!!!!
