When a large fleet of Lasers and three Buccs showed up Sunday (10/18), so did some storm clouds, making a dazzling background for the sailing and sailing pictures. Since the rain and lightning held off until the boats were able to get three races in, nobody much minded.
Here are the race results.
And below are pictures Mike Ferring took. Besides the towering clouds, you’ll see some close racing, mostly between Mike Hester and Paul Miachika. But then there’s the picture of Mike going left when everyone else is going right. Mike was over early and was threading his way back behind the start line.
