Waist deep. Rob Eberle wades in to retrieve a Sunfish. The water temp was warmer than the air, but not, we were told, by much.
Tea time. You didn’t need a racer’s wristwatch to tell that. George Sechrist pours a cup to warm up after the cold, drizzly race. The Coleman stove was a magnet for many.

The Dean Team. Sonya and Alex Dean tag-teamed. He raced their Sunfish in the morning race, she in the afternoon. That way, they took turns watching their two daughters. The Deans took second place.
Nicole Edwards won not only the first place in the Optimist class but also the Rubber Chicken award for spying the scrawny rubber chicken that had been hidden on the race course. For her sharp-sightedness, she won a duck. It was after all, fine weather for them on Saturday.
The Conch Award went to Zack Bruno.
Paul Welles and Ben Bruno. Bruno won second place in the Optimist Class..
