Looks like the roving bit is catching on a little. Pete and I sailed on J/24s at the Terlingua Regatta at DCYC. His team finished 4th and mine finished 5th. We were on the same team for the beer can boat races and even though our design had a weighted keel and would go to weather, the PRO changed the course to a downwind and some kids won it.
Doug and one of the Lasers, Forest, sailed on Lasers at DinghyFest at RCYC. Doug battled with a talented college sailor up from Galveston and they had a ton of fun but Doug lost to him in the last race and took 2nd. I’m told Forest had a good showing and when the wind picks up, his boat flattens and he takes off. Kind of like Gary.
Meanwhile, back at White Rock, I understand the usual Butterflyers all raced on Saturday and as the wind picked up it got fairly bumpy (and wet). Looks like the races went to Bruce, Burton and Gary.
Now, on Sunday, Gary helped with duty for the lake championship and it looks like Sandy was the only Butterflyer to sail and took 4th overall. Way to go Sandy!
Frank and Tom came over the DCYC to help with duty on Sunday. They definitely had their hands full. The committee boats were breaking down left and right and the wind was pretty steady and the water fairly choppy. Last time I saw Tom, he was eating home made banana pudding at the club house saying there was a nap in his future. Thanks for stepping up and helping out with duty guys!
