It was a great turn out, really good to meet all the ones who traveled so far to come, thank you all for showing up! And there were still 2 F16's at the club, not being sailed, that might have made it as charters.
Sorry I didn't get to go around and say goodbye to everyone, after the tractor pulled my trailer to the parking lot, they told me I had to hook it up and move it, as in,"Get the F -heck- out of the way!"
So I hooked it to the truck and went looking for a place to park the rig, but couldn't find any spot big enough, so I had to leave before I got a chance to say goodbye and thanks for coming.
And a special thanks to Robi for letting us stay at his house, and to Mike Borden who bought not one, but TWO bottles of Rum, for prizes, 1 for the first place Uni, which was won by Jody. And the other for the sailor who sailed all races but finished last. Consolation rum, not a bad idea!
I think we should continue this new tradion, so thanks for getting that started Mike! Hope you all have a safe drive home, I know it's a long, long way. We had a Capricorn F18 all the way from Canada too! Took first place!
Oh, and Saturday night we had an unofficial Class Meeting, where we voted Dave Ingram as our new Class President, and Brian Karr as the Vice President.
Now both of these guys sail F18's but neither one showed up for this regatta, only a 2 hour drive away, so that's the payback for not showing up.
Dave, I expect some type of an acceptance speach here soon. Welcome to the F16 class!
