Another Season Comes to an End
A fall chill is in the air and Thanksgiving is only three weeks away so it was time to get in one last regatta and put the dock to bed for a long winter’s nap. The last regatta of the 2021 season was held at 11 AM on Tuesday, November 2, with fourteen skippers attending. Colorful foliage still hanging on across the bay, a little sun, and a great southwest wind made for a very enjoyable twelve-race regatta. Nine skippers sailed with a lot of boat sharing so everyone who wanted to sail got a chance.

Right on schedule at 1 PM, the boats were cradled and out came the tools. In no time at all, the buoys were pulled, and the dock was disassembled and loaded onto trailers along with the rescue boat, ready for transport to the Boat Museum barn.

Participating in this year’s dock-out were: Bill Hagerup, Don Cundy, Tim Wright, Anthony Quinn, Paul Wallace, Paul McBride, Bruce Brown, Bob Brennan, Rick Gates, Ken Gerber, Steve Leker, John Simms, Skip Koehler, Karen Enos, B. B. Wright, and Mark Whitehead. Our thanks and appreciation go out to all for another great job.

Out on the Water
I guess you could say it was the boats that took the honors this week. Boat swapping gave those who didn’t bring their yacht a chance to sail – or try out Rick Gates’s DF 95.

Tim Wright’s #383 finished the season with another regatta win, and Mark Whitehead’s #12 took the second spot. Steve Leker’s #2112 captured third, Paul McBride’s #23 was fourth, and Anthony Quinn’s #937 was fifth.
