Let’s race |
|
Looking out over the frozen lake thinking of sail boat races is at best difficult but not impossible. I can almost feel the warmth of the sun baking my skin away as I wait the arrival of the long distance race or the forth-coming small boat regatta. See, now doesn't that just warm ya right up. Well if the sails need mending or the spars straightened you best get after it, spring is just around the corner.
Two long distance races, and at least a dozen small boat races will happen. I should have a schedule by next writing, as that is when my new work schedule comes out. I will have, as I did last year, a full schedule of races--all pending on wind ,sun and our 48 ft tide or mud flats! Pray for rain. I would like to see a few K State boats take part this year and please, anyone who\ would like to take part in the festivities come and watch the action in the harbor as the fleet competes right before your eyes. See the thrills and, yes, the spills as our yachts men give no quarter. Or just watch them bob around waiting on the elusive wind. |
