The day started out with very light wind and a hint of rain in the forecast. By 3 PM the racing was over with just five races completed and a constant shower in progress.

The first race of the day took over 30 minutes to complete, the average most days is half that. Jim Goddard led the way with Bob Boutilier and Janice Anderson breaking the streak in the 4th race of the day.

We were too busy sailing to fully document the event, that’s how we roll.

After an extended period of trying to sail off the ledge that runs off the south end of the island, Boots was forced to wade out and retrieve his boat.

The trip from the shore to the island involved wading through chest high pond water, which you would avoid even touching if you could. The island is home to the flock of geese that people seem to like. Personally I think of them as little more than nasty crap producers. With that in mind you can imagine the water quality around the island.

As far as I am aware Boots is still alive, but we all noticed he did not return to sailing, and avoided the traditional mocking that accompanies such an episode.
