Scot fleet was Charlie & Nancy Fowler sailing “Dances with Bears”, who
traveled from Georgia to race with us in this year’s Ironman Regatta. That
was really not a big surprise because Charlie has won many District level
events in Florida. Second place went to Kevin and Aaron Holland in “Happenin’
Hooptie” who seem to have a great
downwind system developed. Third place went to Margaret Pittenger and her
crew. Margaret seems to be sailing much faster since taking the North Sails
racing camp in Key West. Saturday was an exercise in reading the winds on the
lake and reacting to whatever blew through. It was interesting to watch different
boats head for different parts of the course searching for the best wind.
Sunday’s course had wind wherever you sailed. Rounding the mark was always
time to decide whether to fly the spinnaker, and reevaluating your decision
as others either flew theirs, did not fly theirs or simply fought with the
spinnaker. Overall it seemed as if the racing between the six boats was quite
close at times which kept the entire day full of interest.
