Lightning, thunder, sun, rain and tornado warmings that kept

getting extended. What we didn't have was any racing.

A warm day with good wind that did not die later in the evening.

We had 14 boats and six races. A great way to beat the heat.

A light air day for a change. Plenty of holes, tricky picking

your way to stay in the breeze. Good racing, fun times.

A beautiful summer day with the wind building to 10-12

kept the racing close and everybody upright. Four different

people won a race. Thanks to the race committee as they

were getting tossed around a bit with waves coming from

several different directions.

Back to no wind. The wind was great all day but died to

nothing by race time.



06-14-10

After two weeks of no wind we finally get a perfect night.

Temps were in the 80's and winds were 10-15 and a little

gusty. The water is warm and some boats were  rinsed out

once or twice. Brian Burant was consistantly fast and won

the night. Results


Racing continues every Thursday night through Labor day.

It's free and no pre registration is required.
