Strong August winds (that's right) shattered the belief that late summer sailing on the Chesapeake is boring. Not so! The Wee Dram racers sped to Cape Charles in near record time on Saturday to choose the winning bottle of Scotch Whiskey--no "e."
Back in Fishing Bay, the Jere Dennison Legacy Regatta proved that tiller prowess only improves with age. Taking line honors were Jon Wake, Phil Webb and Tracy Schwarzchild in Flying Scots; Mike Miller and Tom Roberts in the Typhoon fleet and Mike Chesser, Wes Jones and Jim Black sailing Portsmouth. Congratulations to them all.
Then on Sunday, our Laser II Summer Regatta showcased the skills of Jon Deutsch, Mike Toms and Joshua Almany who took the top three of four places.
Who needs the winds of November when we've got northerlies in August!

Cape Charles line honors and overall winner is claimed by Doug Anderson assisted by Brad Miller. In what is becoming a very popular annual event, this year’s version had twelve yachts and some fifty people enjoying the sail down to Cape Charles in near perfect conditions. The group was diverse; racers and cruisers, regular crew and families, racing boats and sturdy circumnavigators. The festival on the dock lasted several hours and after much deliberation, a trophy was selected and awarded…albeit somewhat depleted. The return Sunday to the club was uphill but, for an August day, simply fantastic. Look for the 7
th
edition on the club schedule next year, you will not be disappointed in your participation. It is a rally, not a race, start when you want, finish when you do, but do not be late for the party on the dock - this crowd will not wait for you! A good time was had by all!
I would be remiss not to publicly thank Spencer Travis, Harbormaster and his crew at Cape Charles Town Harbor. He goes out of his way to accommodate us all on one dock and to make certain that we are well taken care of in the harbor.
