The afternoon started out sunny and windy from the west. The wind and gusts built up from the WSW, making for challenging and exciting sailing.
Three guests joined us from Sturgeon River in Lasers to add to the overall competition. Based on the rules governing Commodore’s Cup, the guests were not eligible to be counted in that race, but were welcome to join us in the racing.
Four Falcon Laser sailors rigged up and sailed out to check the conditions, but chose not to start in the first race. A mixed fleet of four Falcon boats competed for the Cup.
Jan and Deb were able to run three races, even though the committee boat would not stay put under anchor.
The evening provided a clear and dry moment for a great potluck BBQ on the upper deck.
