Sept. 6-7
Once again the Jet class was fortunate enough to be invited to one of the Jersey Shore premier regattas. Seven boats sailed the bay with real consistency demonstrated among the contenders. Saturday was bright and clear with an early northwest breeze of about 15 which clocked round to an easterly sea breeze by the afternoon and dropped to about 8. Sunday had a similar wind pattern but was slightly warmer with lighter air. The chop wasn't too bad, nor was the eelgrass or the tide.
Early on Ralph broke his tiller (we all thought the last skipper might have had something to do with that) then lost his hat which affected his early scores. Brian Mohan regaled us Saturday night during the Karioke festivities (he really CAN sing!). We missed Dave and Anne, who regularly attend the regatta, but made sure to call Dave on the way to the annual Mini Golf Championship. This hotly contested event was eventually won by Doug Brown with 35 on a par 40 course.
The surf at the beach was awesome - Fabian was making his presence known with 8 foot rollers although the weather was perfect. Many Jetters had Charlie Engler to thank for putting them up in the optimal regatta digs right at the club.
It was a great event, good competition, good camaraderie, good weather. For those of you who missed it this year come out next year - the Flying is worth it!
