Alan Eldelberg, the fancy tiller guy, has not sailed with us for a while and then the wind was up on Sunday and that combination sent him home early. Thanks to Scott Tillema and another MC guy that came out in motor boat and helped him get his act together.

Jack Delaney, our Cleveland snow bird friend, sailed with us again and was changing places regularly with Marc and Tom. He may be back Memorial weekend, but is about ready to head back North.

Cameron Smith was our first youth, sailed the full rig on Saturday and did a great job. When he gets the super vang stuff down better, he will be a real terror to us older folks.

Luke Yates came out at 11 o’clock on Saturday with the radial rig. Our super race committee took time and he corrected out to second place 0.05 minutes ( that is about 2 seconds) ahead of Sam. Good work Luke.

Marc Solal got a bailer put in his boat on Saturday afternoon. The bailer has been changed just a little– it is harder to put in now. Marc is one of our most regular coming sailors and often is the last one at the finish. So be sure to tell him how much he means to rest of us, and what a good fellow he is. OUR FAVORITE SAILOR. Now he really is sailing better, with a third place twice on Sunday and in the mix at the windward mark.

Rob Krentel won all the races on Saturday by starting better, better upwind, better mark rounding, and better down winds. He is our regular mark setter. If you don’t like the course, tell him about it.

When Alejandro Illera came back on Sunday , he and Rob did the twins thing again. Always right together. Rob had him beat a couple of times, but let him slip by at the last minute.

It was a great weekend to finish off the official 2009-2010 season. Trophies and stuff on Memorial Day weekend in two weeks.
