| And they're off! Photo by Bowman. |
I was on the race committee for the Snipe Southwestern so I missed the Butterfly racing. The Snipes were on the south end of the lake and the Butterflys were on the north end.
I have some photos of both fleets and so cool to see the Snipes heading out and the Butterflys racing. The air was light but per Paul: "
Nothing too exciting to report except John, Marshall and I all hit the same underwater log that was right near the committee boat start line. Gary had a great 'come from behind' win in the 1st race, breeze was better for the 2nd and 3rd race."
I was sorry I couldn't be in two places at once but I did get to see the Butterfly sailors from CSC so at least got to take some photos as they rigged and set off. And I talked to Frank later and he pretty much said the same thing that Paul did about the light air, then when I asked about Joyce we both remarked that it was great to see her out there learning to sail and race in her new (to her) Butterfly!
