SPSA May 14 Couples & Double-Handed Race

Saturday’s make-up date for the Couples & Double-Handed race saw a small fleet floating around the G3 start mark hoping for a breeze to fill in before the 14:00:00 pursuit start time. The light breeze made for a frustrating downwind run to G1 but the wind pick-up by the time we all turned the mark for a reach to Little J. It was a beat in the still freshening wind back to G3 for a lively finish.
 
We all gathered at the Sailing Center for an Italian meal of crisp salad and Mazzaro’s Lasagna including good conversation around the dinner table. Much thanks to Dan and Noreen Dawson for planning and executing a wonderful dinner. Great choice!
