It was a warm afternoon with temps in the high 70’s and no rain. At times the wind was light with the boats hardly moving at all and then you could see the gusts moving over the water to help the boats take flight.
Nine boats competed in this year’s annual walk about.
The entries were:
- Jack Bennett #005
- Jonathen Gorbold #62
- Nelson Habecker #54
- Dick Hallagan #74
- Anne Lambert #272
- Jay Niggli #81
- Bill Schmidt #88
- Gary Schmidt #59
- Terry Schmidt #71
The first race of .8 miles was won by Jonathan #62 after a dual with Nelson #54 and Jay #81 for much of the whole race. The finishing times for the first 3 boats were 37.5 min., 37.9min., and 38.4 min. respectively. The race back found many of us struggling with the last channel and positions changing frequently except for Jonathan who once again showed to be unbeatable. It was Jonathan #62 first, Jay #81 moving through the channel to take second, and Gary #59 rounding out the top 3. Go to racing results for all the scores.
Racing continued with a few “windy leews” and then on to Anne’s Easter ham and all the fixens added by all to end a great day on the boardwalk.
There will be NO RACING EASTER SUNDAY. The next time we will race will be on Sunday April 27th at either Holiday Harbor or the south dock CYC (whichever seems better). TBD
