SSA Spring Series -April 9-10, 2011

It sure didn't feel like spring this past weekend, especially on Saturday. A chilly, dreary, no wind start to the season greeted us eager sailors. Allen T. joined us on Saturday thinking sailing would be better than doing his honey do list at home. That was debatable. Saturday's racing turned out to be a one leg drifter with only two boats finishing within the time limit. Talk about fun stuff. It was downright painful. But if nothing else we are a resourceful bunch and happy hour started early and extended late.

Sunday's racing was much better. O.K., it couldn't get any worse. Still chilly, but with a southerly breeze of about 6 knots teams were able to work out the cobwebs over four races. Teams Friebele, Hurban, Kelly, Brickell, Constants battled throughout the day and overall it was a good day out on the water.
