Vancouver Lake - Junior Regatta

The Vancouver Lake Junior regatta (June 20-21) was really fun.  Although there were a lot of postponements we did get about 8 races in.  I sailed a laser radial.  I ended up in 9th out of 15 boats.  Our class was the largest.  Hanging out with everyone was tons of fun too.  There was some strong winds and some really light winds, but it was still a great regatta.

The Gorge Practice Weekend

WOW the gorge was a blast!  I couldn't believe the wind.  It was 20-30 mph each day!!!  I was there Saturday and Sunday to practice for the WIND clinic with other SYC race team members.  The location is absolutely beautiful and as long as you don't wake up to the sound of the trains you will have tons of fun camping there (like I did)!  Anyways, I flipped a lot and sailed some of my radial but mostly in my 4.7 rig.  Two 29er jib halyards, and my coach's 505 mast broke.  In the end it was a super fun weekend!!!  I can't wait to go back there.  Did I mention the amount of bruises I have from the laser...

Vancouver Lake - Lido 14

Two weekends ago I went to Vancouver Lake, WA for the Vancouver lake Regatta with my dad.  There were 16 Lido 14s and they were split into an A and B fleet.  It was a really fun weekend with 4 total races.  I wish we could have gotten a few more races in because 5 were needed for a throw out.  If there was a throw out we would have gotten 3rd based on our scores, but without it we ended up getting 4th place.  I felt we sailed very well, receiving two 2nds one 3rd and one 12th (our bad race :( ).  Anyways it was a really great venue and we had some great racing.
