Anytime you go to Elon for a regatta, you should plan on a well managed event hosted by a tremendous group of people. This year's event was no exception. Uncle Frank's control, Linda's constant smile and optimism and all of the other Piedmont MYC members willingness to help out made this year's regatta a joy to be part of, even if it was a brief one for me.
After four separate major failures (bow block, broken winch line, reversing winch and finally a floating transmitter) I determined that the Good Lord just didn't want me to compete this weekend. Regardless of all this, I still had a good time while I was there.
Frank, you've said it before and I couldn't agree more. Elon is the EC12's venue that is "too tough to tame". However, I'm going to keep trying. I'll be back again next year.
Please thank everyone on your team for a great time.
