Lake Arthur Sail - September 6, 2020


Sean invited me for a great day of SAILING on Saturday.  Thank you, Sean!
BTW, Sean has been great crew for me aboard Kelly IV.  

From Sean's Facebook post:
"I finally made a race this year and had expert crew with Allen Murphy on board.  Murph made a heck of an entrance, being dropped off at the start by rigid inflatable boat.  (Ed. Note: the Moraine Sailing Club's safety boat)  We had a fast start and sailed well, but were no match for Captain Dick, More Like It and Gratitude.  Captain Dick claims he was dragging an anchor just to give us a chance, but he smoked us all.  It was great to catch up with Murph, and a nice start to  the Labor Day weekend.

EDIT:  it turns out that Murph and I won the handicap scoring.  Probably from prior horrible times, but we'll take it!"
