Finally - We Get It Going
Mother Nature let us get two races in!! What are the odds?
Saturday morning brought some good wind from the northwest which, of course, means getting dizzy in the Timmer's Bay Bowl. Moose lead the whole thing with a 50 second lead.., till the last leg. He went right (with the "C's"), Katie went left and took him. Well done. Special props to Lizzy Sobotta who held third for a lot of the race.
After getting permission from the fleet, we started a half hour early and raced our second race of the year in the Champ Series (which was race #5 - isn't sailboat racing funny??). It was a great start and Kay went off to the left and dusted everyone to the first buoy. Moose and Katie caught up by the 2nd windward with the 8 in the lead. 22 passed him on the left and 13 passed him on the right going downwind. Must be something with the amount of wetted surface! Katie held on and won the race.
The second race (#1) had the 8 over at the start. First one of thse this year. Katie and Steph won, then Kay and Jack. Nice racing guys!!
I have to take a second and say what a year Katie is having. She seems focused and really is doing quite well.., good boat handleing, head out of the boat, she looks unbeatable. I hope she can continue it when the regatta circuit picks up again this week with the TRAP.
