Mississauga Regatta - June 25 2006

This was a quick one day regatta, launching from the public boat launch near PCYC and the Mississauga Sailing Club. This time the conditions were perfect: a warm sunny day, and just as we were sailing out to the course, the wind started to pick up nicely. We were able to finish 5 races, so everyone even had a result to throw out!

With such gorgeous conditions, it's a pity we only had four boats on the start line:

... and some younger sailors - that's Nick Loffree's arm sticking out from behind the sail.

Greg took a turn on the committe boat helping Derek call some really close finishes. Other finishes weren't nearly as close, so Derek had plenty of time to take a picture.

After the race, we retired to the Loffree's backyard for a lovely BBQ.

Thanks to Derek Pugh and his handy cell phone for the Photos.
