Penndragon showing how it's done...........not!
I figured Stewart had basked in his triumphant return long enough. 

 

Next Big Thing

 

Herbert L Thomas Cup

May 17th is the annual Herbert L Thomas Cup.  There will be 3 races, weather permitting, beginning at noon.  Blue Coast will be catering the party after at the Lammers' beginning around 6 or 2 hours after the last boat finishes.  Skipper's meeting at what is left of the Eden Isle parking lot at 10:00 am.

 

Racing & Results

Spring Series Results

Another Spring Series is in the books.  In this case, it was a short one.  An error on the calendar that was published actually omitted the final Spring Series date, so to avoid confusion and keep it fair for everybody, we just went with the dates we had published.  For results, click HERE.

We had some light air (this is Arkansas, after all) but some really nice days as well.  I got some great pictures of those who participated, but haven't mastered adding albums to the website yet.  When I do, you'll be the first to know.    In the mean time, name these sailors:

The continuing  highlight has been the après sail activities at the Lammers'.  As you all know, Bill & Christina have opened their home up for parties every weekend that we have been racing.  There have been a bunch of new faces mixing with some very old ones to watch some sailing videos, replay the events of the day, and EAT!  I think every close encounter on the course has been rehashed to the satisfaction of all involved on the kitchen table with plenty of bystander commentary.  Thanks as always to the Lammers for the hospitality.

Frostbite Series in the books

The breeze didn't really provide the drama that is customary for the Frostbite Series, but nine boats got some nice sailing in anyway.  The top 3 represent a real cross section of the types of boats in our club.  But conspicuously missing are the big guys.  Where were all the big Hunters and Beneteaus? Are you all waiting on it to warm up so you can turn on the air conditioners?  The best sailing of the year is RIGHT NOW, so get out there and enjoy it.  For the full results, click HERE.

 

Cool Change looking, well, cool.

High Water Blues:

Obviously the news of the day is the high water.  Record lake levels have imposed some challenges for this summer.  Access to the boats is difficult, parking is limited, and there is no power on many docks.  GFLYC will be forging ahead with our schedule of events in sort of a throwback mode.  Back to the days when there were fewer motorboats and we anchored out to stay on our boats because it was cooler.  Sailing is supposed to be an adventure anyway, so don't let a little inconvenience deter you from enjoying the lake.  We'll be there and the party will go on....
