Sailpast 2008
This weekend was Sailpast at our club, where all the boats sail past and salute the Commodore and the other flag officers at the club. Saturday was a perfect day. Temperature on the water was well into the 20's and there was a 11-14kts wind. We were on board Peter and Donna Howell's boat Cassis. Peter is the Vice-Commodore Marketing at the club, so we were anchored with the other flag officers and watched as all the boats paraded by. The had a bag piper at the light house piping us out and back in again. It was a terrific day.
On Sunday, we headed out for our first sail of the season. Conditions were fabulous on the lake with the wind blowing briskly from the north and the water flat. We made 8.46kts on our return with the wind poking above 20kts. The boat handled superbly, and everything on the boat seemed to working fine. We sailed and for a few hours and headed back to our slip without incident.
