Wow, spring sailing was in full swing this weekend with plenty-o-sun and hi temps into the 80s. Camping was comfortable except Friday night got a little colder than I expected. And for the third year we hit our magic number of 17 boats thanks to Mike Hardy registering from afar. If you did not partake you missed another awesome Ides of March Regatta. Saturday morning there was decent NW breeze and many boats went out before skippers meeting to get in some sailing. Later, during race 1 there was an unpredicted 90 degree shift from NW to SW. Then the wind got very light and patchy. PRO Rodger Poe sent us to the beach to wait for more wind. It never really materialized despite many people going out and trying to sail. The F18s went out and did an iron man race across the lake and back and that was really painful. Sunday by 10AM there was a stiff 15mph+ breeze from the South. We got in 3 fabulous races. The day was so pleasant it was even enjoyable taking down the boats on the beach.
Thanks to all who served on RC and Chase boats. We had a great crew working the event. Special thanks to Mark Biscotto for doing scoring once again. The results are posted at the Austincat.net Events Page or following link... 2017 Results <https://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&pid=sites&srcid=ZGVmYXVsdGRvbWFpbnxhdXN0aW5jYXRzbmV0fGd4Ojc5MmEwN2JjODk0MTg0ZmM> There is lots of sailing to do in April. So get out there and tear it up. Mike Rohrer Regatta Chair -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Texas City Dike Yacht Club" group.
