Spring has Sprung!  I hope everyone's adjusted to the extra hour of daylight in the evening, and that you're using that extra hour to prep your boat, your crew, your tactics or just your post race swagger for this weekend.  It's shaping up to be a nice day on Saturday.  I hear true Irish fare is on the menu for Saturday (and no we're not having green hot dogs). 

Wear green and the guys on O'tramp will take your O'picture!  I'll be on the O'whaler unless I find a pot of gold and get a bigger boat before Saturday.

WOW, only two boats entered under Club Handicap. Where are all the Orange fleet boats?

I was sure I would get to race KATANA this weekend.

Come on out and lets have another exciting race for the Club Handicap Fleet.

A hearty Beef Irish Stout Stew with Irish Champ and Irish Soda Bread should make a good base for downing copious amounts of Harp Lager on tap.

Looked like an absolutely beautiful, wonderful day to race.  Hope you guys had an absolutely fabulous time. 

We managed to see some of the action and wished we were there.

Thank you all for organizing and participating. This was a boisterous start of the spring and you made us work with the short windward leeward for the large yachts. Joan III had the wind she needed and we did work the new crew members. We were heading for some large steaks so missed the award giving. Seems we got a prize? If so would like to pick it up somewhere.
