Wild Weekend Weather

Hello Everyone,

I hope that this e-mail finds that all of our members are safe and sound from the wild and turbulent weather.

Friday was a wonderful day.  Several people went out sailing. Winds were steady but building in the afternoon as the storm was approaching our area.  Tenacious and Unplugged went out, I saw the new owners of Irresponsible out, Dead Stick was back at dock when I arrived late afternoon.  The winds stayed with us all night and was much worse at the end of C-dock.  

On Saturday it was gray and cloudy with some peeks of sun momentarily.  We had a group go to Pegram’s for breakfast.  We had a sprinkle then.  By 1 PM, Mark & I headed home.  On our way home, we had gotten a call from Pat Terry saying the TV weather was showing tornados possible at the lake and wanted the phone numbers of those who stayed behind.  We contacted Mel & Chesley.  Mel had already seen the Doppler on her phone and most everyone abandoned ship to go by the bath-house for cover.  

Torrential rain and wind came by and I understand that the end of C-dock by Godspeed and Tenacious broke again.  I heard that they roped it up and no damage to any boats.  After the storm, the skies got bright, blue and no clouds.  Unplugged went for a night sail.  Sunday was a most gorgeous day.  I wish I could have been at the lake.  I will leave the details of the storm and race to Eddie to tell in his racing e-mail.  

Mark & I will be heading up to the lake tomorrow (Tuesday) for the delivery of our new boat.  It is expected at 11 AM.  Just a reminder, our next club event is the Fox and Hound Chase followed by an International Cook-off.  (brush off some of your favorite recipes).  Last year we had food from Italy, Poland, Germany, India, Mexico and France.  If the weather is going to be good, I may try to throw in our Boating Flea market prior to the cook-off.  Be safe everybody.
