NOOD

The NOOD regatta was fun.  There was no wind the first day, but it was sunny and warm.  We waited from 8:30-4:00 for wind, but it never came up.  The second day was more light wind, but we ended up getting 3 races off.  It was very tricky.  I sailed my full rig, but my light weight didn't really help because most of the time I was in 0 knots of wind.  In the end, it was a decent regatta which would have been much better with a little more wind.

Opening Day


Hey everyone,
I haven't posted anything in a while so I thought I would give you an update along with telling you about opening day!  We have practiced a lot in the last month, but haven't been to that many regattas.  Anyways, recently I went to opening day with my dad.  It was a blast; we met tons of people who live on Lake Sammamish and could be interested in joining the Lake Sammamish Yacht Club!  The parade was amazing and we ended up having some sunshine in the middle of the day (even though it was rainy a lot of the time).  The ceremonies were fantastic as well, and I loved the decorated boats.  Maybe next year we can have a LSYC junior boat in the parade!!!  This weekend is the Nood Regatta and I will give you another update after that.
