Fort Worth Boat Club is an
awesome venue. Great facilities, food,
people, race committee, and racing. Almost
every time I sail keel boats in Fort Worth, it’s blowing … and I mean
blowing stink. Some circuit events seem to
always be scheduled on a weekend that provides the highest degree of excitement
and memories. I still fondly remember
the 2010 J/24 circuit stop. And while, I
wasn’t at the 2012 J/24 circuit stop, the picture on the left is worth a thousand words. That’s my old skipper, Kelly Holmes, in the photo. I can only imagine what happened.
So, at the Laser circuit stop
this past weekend … well ... it wasn’t like that.
Not even a little bit. Just a tiny
hint of a whisper of wind and only 7 competitors.
At the skipper’s meeting, since day two promised
even less wind, they asked the competitors if they wanted to make it a one
day regatta. One of the sailors from
Doug’s favorite Dallas fleet said that if he was within striking distance of
Doug at the end of Saturday that he wanted to sail on Sunday. Doug responded that the guy was asking a
rhetorical question. It was a one day
regatta.
at least he's using my favorite form of orally administered anesthesia.
