Sorry I did not post scores on Saturday night. Things were just moving fast with all the stuff we had to do along with the Florida Annual Meeting and Happy Hour and then dinner.
A full report will be coming shortly. The weather was just about as good as it gets and the wind was all over the place, but still made for some great racing. Before I tell you the results, I need to thank my team who helped put this event on and it started a month or so ago with the building of the two new docks. Martin Gray, Bill Wells, John Bottensek and Tom Phillips did most of the heavy lifting and construction of the docks. Brian Ladouceur supported the effort with a contribution of non-skid tape. Then came the hard work at the regatta. I need to thank Jim Pardee for running the start line, Brenda Pardee for keeping score, Robbie Susan was on the finish line with me and kept me straight on the sail numbers, Bill Wells came to support with the gear and marks, Baron Bremer was so supportive with just about anything I needed from rescuing boats, setting up courses and handing out clothes pins, Tom Phillips served up breakfast each day, and Frank Ligon took care of the wonderful prizes for the top four. The Greers and Luscombs need to be thanks as well for hosting a great happy hour in their suite and what more can I say about Karen Luscomb who is always there to support the class. Brenda Pardee presented her with a special Thank You from the Florida Association in the awards presentation. Finally, I need to thank Ken Morrison for coming to be Judge. He did not hear any protests, but he answered a lot of rules questions. And thanks again to Brian Ladouceur for letting Ken stay at his home for the weekend.
All of these people are what make these events special and without them, there would simply be no regatta. Keep that in mind at all the regattas you attend, and from time to time, step up and offer your help and pass on sailing that one weekend. It is worth it.
Now for the scores.
