It was another perfect fall day with winds of 10-15 generally from the Southwest. With the usual inland lake twenty to thirty degree wind shifts, there were plenty of opportunities for boats that were able to get leverage at the right time. As usual, it was also important to find more wind. These conditions provided plenty of lead changes as well as position changes among all the boats in each race.

The "Flying Pigasus" crew alternated helmsmen each race. John LeFevre drove the first race, Tom Rasmussen the second and Blaine Severin the third. Their finishes were 5th, 4th and 5th. Larry Koster, Maribeth Fletcher and Jim Fletcher have begun to jell as a crew - particularly with regard to spinnaker work. They were 4th, 5th and 4th - just missing third place in the final race. Pat Dolan, sailing "Wind Dancer" with Bob Miller and Bob Hill, took three third place finishes.

OLN is still trying to get some of its act together - the exact TV schedule being one of the elusive pieces. As best we can figure it out after the first two days is that coverage is almost live in the 9-11 PM time slot (there is a short delay). Then, the show is repeated at midnight, 9:30 AM and 1:00 PM the next day.

The windbreak is simple, but effective and easy to install. It consists of two tarps that hang on grommets from a beam on the west side of the club house. Hooks are installed near the door to the womens room to anchor that end of the tarp. Bungees are used to anchor the middle and other end. About five minutes is all it takes for installation - or to put it away. The tarps are stored on the shelf above the refrig along with instructions.
