Sailing Education Adventures

SEA sailcampers and SEA adult "Race for the Dawg" racers converged at Marin Yacht Club on Saturday, August 7 for Sailfest 2010 - SEA's 26th year!

This year Summer Solstice, 34 Tartan, took lead and her timing was "on time" - Who was supposed to be the official time keeper?! Skipper of Kelly Shawn, 22 Santana, placed third and protested - "what about PHRF ratings"! Shoulders were shrugged, and the skipper was consoled by a bottle of limoncello*, homecrafted for SEA Members only!  Daisy, Fayaway and Shockwave all paraded into the channel to officially begin the events of the day.

Campers, parents and SEA members raced, capsized and had plenty of water fun on the Picos.

A HUGE appreciation to AJ, "The Extraordinaire", for spearheading this year's festivities (SEA would be a sunk treasure without her enthusiasm, skill and tireless effort!). Another huge thanks to member Karen Brenner and MYC liaison Val to ensure sailors were well fed. And, of course, thank you Wayne and Sandor for making the day fun for all!

*Rumor has it that the limoncello recipe can be gotten with exchange of promised brewed donations. Contact author of this article for more info.
