Windy Weekend
Very windy both Saturday and Sunday, but the weather was much drier than forecast. Possibly because of the forecast, not much of a turn out for open house day, and rough conditions for taking people out for a sail, but we managed to give a few people a thrilling sailing experience.
On shore hospitality was awesome, thanks to Debbie and Brian Woods.
Saturday BBQ was also delightful, with a workable combination of wind and mosquitoes! Great chance to visit, good food, and excellent atmosphere.
The keel boat race on Sunday had to be cancelled because winds were gusting over 20 knots.
Hopefully next Friday, Canada Day, weather conditions will allow us to run the first dinghy race.
June 18 & 19 Weekend
Well, there was wind. Lots of it. Too cold on Saturday, but Sunday’s warm south winds gusting to 20 knots and over 30 degrees attracted a few sailors; Garth, Stefan, Evan and a friend of his. No racing, but exciting sailing. Never too hot to go sailing!
Plans for June 18 & 19 Weekend
It’s forecast to be a hot weekend. Never too hot to go sailing.
The keel boat race is cancelled for Saturday, as several boats aren’t ready to launch.
Instead, we will start the dinghy racing series. Come prepared for warm air and cold water, and lots of fun both Saturday and Sunday.
