Eager sailors came out to experience sailboat racing at the Rookie Race last Saturday. The wind was challenging but thanks to a creative race committee we were able to get in a race.
The wind started to fill in for a second race when the call came over the radio, "Race Abandoned, head for shore . . . rain with strong winds has developed over the airport and is headed our way." The rookies and coaches all got a shower and a challenging blast of wind that met us on the way back to the docks. So, everyone got a tutorial that wasn't on the lesson plan for the day!
