Two Regattas Outside D7 and CLYC starts this weekend!

Wow!  Before you knew it, Old Man Winter has left us with some fantastic warm weather and sunshine.  Just this past weekend, my kids had the blow up water slide and swimming pool out.....I must admit...even I thought about sliding down the slide after mowing the yard.

This Saturday we officially begin the CLYC season races with the annual Memorial Day regatta.  Racing will start at 1:30 PM on Saturday....that means to have your mast up and sails ready to go on the beach by 12:30 and heading out to the lake by 1:00.  Sunday races start at 10:00 AM.  As always, most of us will leave the beach from the Hobie Swamp Area/Marsh Land.  This location is just West of the Clear Lake State Park. 

Many of us who sail regularly leave our boats at the Hobie Beach area.  However, we ask that if you not just use it as a place to store your boat.  There's not that much room and the DNR doesn't like just seeing boats sit there all winter as an eyesore.  Also, please keep in mind we share this area with anyone else of the public...we don't have any special rights to the shoreline or the lake access...so be sure to share accordingly...maybe even use it as an opportunity to take someone sailing!

Who might we have sailing with us this year...and what might they be sailing you ask?  Well the Wessels recently invested in 2 Hobie 17's, Charlie has that brand new Hobie 16 he won at the H16 Nationals, Mike has a Hobie 17...let's see if he's found the wings yet! LOL.  Steve B., Lynn T. and Jeff G. has a very nice H16, Bill & Mick, & Dave have tricked out Hobie 14's....and I have the fastest boat on the lake....my Hobie 17! Ha!  I have yet to prove that, however. LOL.

After this Saturday's races, we will have a nice Fleet 10 meeting at Bill & Lana Wilsons house. 

Here's a toast to a great summer of sailing at Clear Lake with Hobie Fleet 10!

    Well hello!  I'm Todd, and I'm a pretty active member of Hobie Fleet 10.  I've called this my Chevy Chase Blog...because if there's something silly or dumb to do with sailing...I'm sure I've done it.  So peruse and enjoy....feel free to laugh and call me crazy...but hopefully my mistakes may help you with learning to sail or simply not making the same mistakes in life I have.  Enjoy!
