The third annual commodore's cup 2-day regatta opened the 2015 sailing season.  This great event featured lots of food and laughter with participation from five different fleets.  The Flying Scots and Corinthians set their courses on the south end while the Butterflys, Snipes, and Lasers stayed on the north end.  A stormy Friday found us sailing a debris field dodging trees and branches in addition to trying to gauge the wind shifts and keep track of our fellow sailors.  Fortunately the debris blew downwind and mostly out of the way during the day.  Saturday's wind tended to be gusty and shifty from the west in the 6-20 mph range.  By Sunday the wind shifted southeast, with lighter winds in the 5-10 mph range.  

Nine Butterfly sailors participated, plus Frank sailed his Flying Scot, Doug P. sailed his Laser, and I crewed for Cameron on our Snipe.  Since the Snipes, Lasers, and Butterflys shared the course it was fun to see all my friends at various parts of the course. Through 7 races we sailed several different courses including Olympic, W 2 1/2, W 1, practicing both upwind and downwind finishes.

Overall results for the Butterflys:  Paul 1st, John 2nd, Gary 3rd.

Frank finished 2nd overall in the Flying Scot fleet, Doug P. finished 2nd overall in the Laser fleet.

Congratulations to everyone who participated!
