Well it was a bit chilly and windy. The first day was in 8-12 knots. We got 5 races in if I remember right. Really a good day of racing. Wes Wilcox on an N20 was in second with Brett and Jen on a N18 close on my heels in all the races. When scoring was complete I managed to cover the time in most races. There were some absolutely crazy shifts with huge puffs suddenly filling from one side or the other. Makes it really hard to be consistent. You could easily be first or last to the first mark. I had a couple of races where I had to make up quite a bit after rounding A mark.

The second day was quite a bit windier with gusts around 20 knots. The races were fast and you just had to have a great start to come out on top. We got two quick races in and hit the shore early. That was nice to get home at a decent hour for me. I had about an 8 hour drive home.

We had a really fun regatta with a good mix of boats. I think there was like 15-17 boats there of all different makes and models. We even had like 5 H14's which they luckily put in a different class.

It's a nice lake though a bit small. No weeds or shallows so I was happy.
