After getting three boats out for four races last weekend, threatening weather and missing crew kept the fleet ashore today.  Dick, Lou, Ray and Jim worked on the fleet loaner boat to ready it for anyone interested in experiencing Star sailing first hand.  Racing next weekend is still up in the air due to the Michigan State Championships being held next weekend in Detroit.

After a one week delay, the 2011 season kicked off this weekend with three Stars making it out to the racecourse in almost perfect Star weather.  The winds were 6 - 10 knots from the Northwest and the seas were relatively flat making for ideal sailing conditions.  The cobwebs were all blown out and all three boats enjoyed an uneventful first outing.  Due to boat renovations and registration issues, the fourth boat was not able to make it out to play with the others.  The race committee didn't miss a beat in getting off 4 races just to the west of the mouth of the Black River off the Lorain coastline.  If this weekend is any indication of the season to come, we are in for a great 2011.
