Low 70°’s and around 8 knot winds ( with some crazy gusts) made for some good sailing as Herb easily outdistanced the field for the win. Jim Linville came with 3 boats but decided not to compete. Results follow:

This Saturday, May 6, No Sinko Da Footy Regatta is scheduled to start at 11:00AM. Long range weather forecast is exceptional…70° with winds around 8 knots. Hoping to see you all at the pond!

Herb picked up a huge weed first race and later in the day Cliff found a bag and some nasty weeds slowing him down for 2 races.Continue reading “Rick Laird For The Win”

Unexpectedly on last Friday the town had the pond treated with Captain XTR , an algaecide, so hopefully our persistent floating weed clump problem might be coming to an end just in time for the remainder of the season. We will be checking often to see if it works!
