Skippers, 

The US1M “Return-to-Rosemary” race was sailed today and 9 skippers showed up to test the waters.

The winds were light, and the competition was fierce, but happily almost no weeds showed up to spoil the fun.  The pond is amazingly Lilly pad/weed free.

The light, on-again, off-again wind was the topic of conversation during racing.  The lead could change during a race as the lead boat got becalmed and was then passed by the fleet…sometimes within a couple of feet from the finish.  A race was never “in the bag” until a boat actually crossed the finish line.

The weather was great and everybody seemed to have a good time; except for our DF95 sailing friend “Roy” who around until his DF95 went stern down 50 yards from shore.  Fortunately, his bow remained visible until it could be rescued.  Many thanks to John Whalen for his quick thinking, and fast rowing rescue!

The best news is that the club will sail at Rosemary for the remainder of the season.  

So, everyone be aware, the Enduro is coming….plan….be prepared!

Cliff Martin, Commodore
