April and May recap:
SPSA sailors could be found all around the bay competing in regattas or sailing just for fun. SPSA members can be seen sailing out of the St Pete Sailing Center Tuesday mornings, and Fridays for SPYC Twilight races. April saw the last of the Spring Series races and May 3rd was the Doublehanded / Couples race. Both were well attended, and we had a full house at the post race, Cinco de Mayo themed end of season social. Some SPSA sailors & boats made the podium in the 81 Bay /Charley Morgan Memorial regatta, DIYC Hospice Cup, and the 46th Annual Suncoast Raceweek.
King of the Bay:
Back to back KOB winners for March and April are Greg Burney and Wendy Reeve with the Sonar. Next time you see them offer a bow or curtsy and you might get them to reveal their secrets to success. All hail the KOB! More info here. Who will be May's King?
