Okoboji Mixes it up with Three Heavy Air Races |

BURDICK CONTROLS FIRST IN CLASS
Consistency has kept Andy Burdick, Peter
Keck and Coye Harrett at the top. Add the fourth Meg Six and finishes
of 1-3-2 and you have control of the leaderboard. Kevin Jewett retains
sceond but a great day by Rob Evans places him one point away from
Jewett in V123. One major crash resulted in Sam Rogers with a hacksaw
and rudder at lunch but everyone sailed the final race of the day. For E fleet results, click here.
COLBURN LEADS BY SIX POINTS
With
another race win, Bill Colburn (above) continues in first in the MC
fleet. Tipovers and boats retiring were fare for the day in the high
wind day. Even regatta chair Steve Avery took a swim. Any
boat who had a crew took one. Even Commodore Porter went out with a
desparate daughter but stopped after the races to change lest
Chairperson Avery was starting early with a wet T-shirt contest. Not a
desired look!
JAN AND DEBBIE GILL TOP M-16 FLEET
The three-boat M-16 fleet sailed only two races on Day
2 and have an ealy start to Day 3. Much stays the same however. The
Gill team (photo above) took both races. Jack Zimmerscheit and Carly
Eckert split the two races on Day 2.
A county
fair theme greeted the returning sailors. Sliders (small pork
sandwiches), mini corn dogs, shaved ice concoctions from an ice cream
truck and music made a festive night. It seems the evenings are tame
with most returning home or to hotels to watch Olympics, The go-karts
are busy with sailors. Some veiled inuendos of misbehaving but
Scowlines will keep that quiet until the rowdy C boaters arrive. All in
all, it has been a fabulous three days with generous hospitality by
Okoboji. All photos by Pat Dunsworth |
| BARKOW HAS LAYDAY |
|  Barkow
and her teammates Carrie Howe and Debbie Capozzi get a rest but the
other classes begin. Anna Tunnicliffe leads the radial fleet. For results click

posted.
