Notice to everyone who raced only Saturday: You missed the best wind of the weekend. Sunday morning started with cresting whitecaps and settled into a pleasant 8kts, serving up a trip around Horse Island for the spins and three very quick Thistle races. (Thistles have a long-standing rule to race just three races per day.)
In contrast, Saturday was a sailing snooze, with most races (we still call them races) drifters. When some breeze licked across the lake at the end of the day, the spins said, “Start us!” only to find they’d been tricked, the wind went away and the race abandoned. Of course, sipping a beer at Spinnaker Point, we looked out on a lake rippled with wind. Always the way, right?
The results for week three of racing at Lake Pleasant are posted on the results page, or click here.
