Finally the boats hit the water!!!!
We had some surprise visitors and some new roles required:
Nels – Fleet captain took the newly donated dingy out to sea to clear away the islands of ice… with some good visualization we looked at the bergs as tho they were islands in the Caribbean that Neil recently returned from … so he helped us maintain our bearings from island to island. Matthew was our talented score keeper for the day.
Dave Kaye was a welcomed visitor – we loaned him a spare boat we had available – watch out he caught on very quickly.. Thank Gosh his cell kept ringing or we all would be in last place!
An amazing day on Cdga Lake as icer bergs gloated closer and closer some Ochos was starting to sink ….long enough so some of us were singing the theme song to titanic…but with that the boat developed wings… and it was (kind of) clear sailing from there for most…. Except Jack who took a berg on dead center and hit it like he would hit one of us.
He too took it on the stern and sailed on.
With all the frozen obstacles around us we managed to get in 8 races before the winds vanished. All then retired to Holiday Harbor to deice.
