Sunfish Beach Party August 16, 2008
The Beach Party was great fun on Aug. 16, thanks to all that attended. There were about 30 people that came out for the party. Every one pitched in to help, making this like a family outing. The kids played on and learned to sail the Sunfish. Some adults also had never sailed the Sunfish or sailed solo.
But then the

wind and weight of the beautiful day’s weather. With four heats of four
racers pitted against one another. The wind began to build through all of

day. There were only three Sunfish left. With a few changes to the
brackets to accommodating the missing Fish. This eliminated it down and
only two racers were still standing. One of the racers was dressed in
matching colors knowing of the purse’s color.
Let’s eat. The hotdogs were cooked and the sides on the table. A ravenous bunch attacked the table to fill the void of hunger. With the tummies appeased the fire was started by the beach’s edge. Soon the guitars began to play and the singing sounded out. Well there was a full Moon that night so it probably sounded like baying at the moon. The standings for this unofficial BOB races this year are Alan Julian 1st race(Aug. 9) Stu Robinson 2nd race(Aug.16) . There is a rumor of a third race a “Sunfish KaBOB”. So lets all think when a good time for this to happen would be. Bob Schwandner S/V TIME THANKS TO ALL THAT MADE THIS A GREAT BEACH PARTY. |

paid off; Stu Robinson won the true
