The day was bright and sunny, but windy, which made the temperature feel colder than it was.

Eight people showed up to sail, two skippers brought Soling’s and six brought DF95’s.  Greg LaPlante brought both a Soling and a DF, so I borrowed the Soling to sail and add another boat to the Soling fleet.

The wind, when it gusted, made sailing interesting and kept everybody on their toes. Surprisingly, there were no rescues and only one 360, which your author did because he got too anxious to make a rounding and caused another skipper to miss the mark.  It was difficult for the other skipper to recover in the high winds, so I hung back with him while the fleet sailed on.

If it had been a little warmer, it would have been a perfect day.  In the end Greg LaPlante was the top DF95 skipper, and Herb Dreher was the top S1M skipper.
