The lack of rain has meant that the dam above Sullivan’s Pond which holds the water in Lake Banook leaves us high and dry. In the photo you can see Mount Bugden is now an isthmus, rather than a shoal.
Rain is in the forecast but probably not enough to reverse this situation in the short term. Keep an eye out for relocation news if it is necessary.
Weeds! We had some weeds on Tursday evening. Hopefully the rain expected will raise the water and diminish the weed effect. Just a reminder, racing on Sunday is planned for the Cranberry Pond in Lunenburg.
The American Team can’t make it, but that is no reason to cancel the party!
What a great day to be sailing at Sullivan’s Pond. The wind offered lot’s of changes in velocity and direction, so no lead was safe. Lot’s of opportunities to move up or fall back in the fleet.
Our first ever Mini 12 regatta, the “B Rig Sitting Down” Regatta. We picked a beautiful day to break out the new class. The B rig is the same as a Soling 1M rig, so we have lot’s of them to employ. Boots came from nowhere when he saw the shift on the water to win race 1. From there, it was tough sailing as we switched from starting north to south. We brought our chairs and relaxed and sailed and had a great time.
