Crotch Reilly Regatta at the finish...







The winner this year of the annual Crotch Reilly Regatta was Captain Dave and Dan on Platform... Dave said that he really wanted to win this year and was really glad that Dave Lyon wasn't racing so he'd have a chance to win.. Second place boat was Black Pearl Christian was the Captain and the third place boat was Sea Roy and Greg was the Captain. But no matter where you finish a good time is had by all..

The Committee Boat Crew
















If you're not up for going out with one of the race teams, it's always fun to go out on the committee boat.. Video taping by Jim is being done ( except this week the camara man was Mike Nelson) pictures for the blog are being taking by Patti Appell (Dave's girlfriend) and Dave is keeping record of all times and shouting out instructions sometimes to those he feels needs it.. He does miss being out there as one of the captains.. but a good time is had by all of us that do go out on the committee boat and we get to see the race up close...

Crotch Reilly Regatta - Before the Race











Yesterday for the winter 6 pack sailing races it was the annual Crotch Reilly Regatta.
Dave Lyon has won this the past two years in a row, so needless to say some of the
Captains were glad to know that he would not be competing this year. Dave said it was
time to have a new winner....
