What a great day! What started out as a bit of
apprehension with having the Regatta on Easter
weekend, really worked out well. The parking at the
lake was not a problem and having all the extra
spectators from the Easter weekend campers was
actually a treat. Perfect winds at 5-10mph all day
from East to Southeast. 13 races ran from 12 noon to
4:30pm. With all the usual WSC Pirates in
attendance, it was great to actually get back Cris
Conniger on the water after a year and half away
from RC sailing. With Sheryl Oliveira as RD, we were
assured of a tight ship on the barge. Her voice
actually raised when too many skippers stayed
hacking around the finish line when other were still
finishing. Even after racing was done and all
skippers headed up to the beer and left over food
from lunch, there was Sheryl working down on the
barge all by herself tabulating the scores using
that wireless connected pencil!!! She did a great
job. Lunch was once again done by the master BBQer
Tony, and the food set-up staff of Mama Seta and
Anna Merrit. Everyone knew Cristina was there in
spirit with the legendary beans. With Desserts being
supplied by various skippers, you knew that once
again no one would go home hungry! Results and
Photos will be posted on the WSC website soon as
Eric will do the usual honors. But I will give you a
taste.
