It’s beginning to look like we will be having more seasonally appropriate weather for a while.  The temperature is in the mid-80’s with variable breezes.

Seven skippers took advantage of the sunny weather to put their boats in the water and try to figure out which direction the wind is coming from.  We had 5 DF95’s and 2 S1M’s approach the starting line.  One of the DF95’s was skippered by David Fine, who is new to the area.  Welcome David!

By all accounts, the DF95’s ruled the day given the winds and sailing conditions.  In the end John Whalen was the top DF95 skipper and Herb Dreher was top S1M skipper.

Aside from the fleet winners, the highlight of the day, for both skippers and spectators, was a boat rescue using our rescue airboat.  It’s always something of a clown show trying to trap a speedy, circling target with a little less maneuverable airboat.  It’s more a statement about the rescue airboat skipper than the airboat.
