Winds were steady SSW with a persistent 15-20 degree right shift between Race 2 and 3,
4 - 11 knot range. Three courses were sailed: 1) a triangle course (S-1P–3P-F), 2) a windward/leeward course (S-1P-F-1P-F),
and 3) a double windward/leeward course (1,F,1,F w/gate). Ray and Roger had the most exciting Race of the day, Race 2,
Roger rounded Mark 3 with Ray on his tail. Ray was trying to zigzag his way around Roger but Roger had
his “cat like” reflexes full on and was able to hold off Ray to the finish. We were all
packed up just before the rain came. The Burbank providee after race nourishment and entertainment.
Sarah, “Welcome to the Flying Scot Fleet!” she was out there just figuring out the ropes, with the kids.
Race #1 (S-1P-F-1P-F).

Six boats and extra crew raced on Saturday. Variable winds at 4 mph
shifted from NNW to NW. Early morning temp was 40° F rising to the low 50s later

The lake level was high with ramps connecting floating docks nearly parallel to the water surface.
Ray Peters won the first 2 races sailing to 1st place overall for the day. Finishing a strong

cooking skills once again.
