Even though no motor boats were allowed on the lake the RC Laser Fleet 14 had their Squaw Island Regatta off the south dock at CYC. Ten RC Lasers and one Soling participated in the event. There was a Le’Mans warm up race to get everyone’s boat in the water and then a total of 5 races were booked before we closed the dock and headed for the cookout. After calculating the scores based on low points no throw outs it was Gary Schmidt just edging out Terry Schmidt for first followed by Mary Schmidt in third. An award was also given to Bill Schmidt for finishing first with his Soling. Since he was the only Soling we asked him if he preferred to be scored first or last and he wisely chose first.
The cookout lasted for two hours with Jack Bennett as the chef and myself (Nelson) as the awards presenter. The side dishes brought by everyone were superb. We had bean soup, vegetarian sausage, salads, cookies, and even home made ice cream by Eric.
2014 Squaw Island Rewards
After we were all full of food and drinks we handed out the rewards that the winner so greatly deserved.
Many pictures of the fun can be found at “PHOTOS” for your viewing.
Next week we will be finishing up the spring meet with racing (Sunday June 1st) from 4-6 pm again off the south dock at CYC. It will be an interesting battle between the girls and the guys to see who earns a Jefferson Cup with their name on it.
See you this Sunday on the water!!!
