Did this regatta take place?

It took place. John Muhlhausen did a great job of guessing which way the wind was going to blow and setting and resetting good challenging courses. The wind was typical 0 to about 6 from various directions and the lake was Sunday-lumpy. We were only able to get in 6 races before lunch and 1 1/2 races after lunch, before the big close thunder caused all AYC big boat and little sailboat racing on the lake to be over for the day. Fun close lead-change-after-lead-change windward leeward racing on nice long just-slightly-eye-test (at the windward mark and offset) courses.

Keg and many many bottles of beer offered after the races. Drivers were smart and discreet fortunately.

Had an Eric Olson sighting as well. Great to see him. He was trying to fix the electronics - winch - one of the boats the week before the regatta. Covered all the bases, but was not able to fix it. He does high quality soldering, etc work. Maybe a bad armature. We will see.

Great fun.

Another great job by John all the AYC members who helped. It's a great venue and I really appreciate being able to sail there.
