Congratulations to Roger. He and Terry had identical impressive scores but Roger beat him in the last race to claim Skipper of the Week.
To those who stayed home to watch the Masters golf tournament you missed a great day of sailing. With westerly winds at the top of the A sail range sailing was fun and challenging.
Happy set a course that made the best of the wind coming over our backs. He had guests Lisa and George sailing two of his boats, so he watched, while occasionally coaching and acting as judge on a few disputes. Winds picked up towards the end of the racing and nose unders and out of control boats separated the real sailors from the rest of us late in the day.
Actually now I think of it, the leaders were pretty far ahead of the following fleet all day.
Jane kept score and Happy kept things moving even when the club start box battery got so low I thought it would stop completely before the start of race 6. Happy got his backup start box going for the last races.
We got 8 exciting races in and I was home to see the finish of the Masters. I'm not sure the rest did. Several stayed on for a bit more fun.
Wheat had a great day, finishing third. I think his fellow Canadian, Roger, was helping with his boat setup. They both came to the dock and made adjustments a few times and they stayed after to do more sailing.
I hope to sail on Thursday.

We had a great day of sailing today. Tons of fun. B sail was the call. Roger called the weather mark and Happy called the course. Happy had his brood out and thus there were Happy relatives all over the course. Great sailors. The course was perfect and 8 competitive races were completed. However, the huge thing that happened today was that it is Happy’s birthday. I believe he told Jane that he is turning 65. I am not sure if that is 100% true but let’s go with it.
From the Kid and all the Buzzards!!! Happy, happy birthday Happy!

The above photo taken by Richard on or about March 24th of an alligator which crossed the road to the Marco Executive Airport. He ambled over thru the hedge and laid down in the sun at the edge of the golf course out there. He/she was 7-8' long and appeared to be quite healthy. Cute huh?
