Results Race ( 2 - 6 )

Y'all I'm so mad!

I was determined to get a BUNCH of sick photos from RC this week and then my dang phone died after the 3rd fleet rounded the windward mark... (I've put some of my fav pics here but I'll post the full library to the Facebook group)

But let me tell you what.... I talked last week about making sure that you take a moment to enjoy the beauty of what we do every week. Look outside your boat and be cognizant of the sunset and spinnakers and smiling faces all around you. Y'all I was jealous because of the pictures but they don't do it justice. 

I was fortunate enough to be on the mark boat for RC this week (if you didn't notice X is missing, so we had to make do). And after my phone died and a few more boats rounded the windward mark, the sunset poked through the clouds and lit up a rainbow of spinnakers running all the way down the lake. We motored around the edges of the course to go watch the leeward roundings and check in with the barge and to glide across the water and watch the spinnakers and sunset almost rotate around you is one of the most majestic scenes anyone could dream of. 

So this week I would like to thank all of y'all for showing up and showing out with your beautiful kites. If you haven't done RC or if you haven't brought a safety boat with you for RC. Do it. It's amazing. Volunteering is totally worth it!

Speaking of volunteers I need to thank Mike Harrington for organizing dinner last week! Yes, it can be as easy as ordering pizza to volunteer for dinner. If you're interested in helping out, reach out to the officers. We can always use more volunteers!

​This week, our RC was Davis MacLeod, David Reddaway, Wheeler Sutton, Matthew Simpson, Tim DeWitt, and Team Highlander. We apologize for the difficulties with the radio (note to future RCs, the front radio on the barge apparently has a VERY limited range. use the one in the back of the boat). That being said, I'm proud of y'all for figuring it out the old school way. 

I've also attached corrections to last week's race. As always let me know if there are any corrections!

Thank you, 
Kyle
