Fun at the lake dodging all those shadows.
Finally got in some good sprint regatta racing after some spring break (from paddling). Kikaha is going strong with a big turnout, especially from the kids. The 2nd annual Uncle Manu regatta (
pictures here) was held on a record breaking May day with temp in the 90's. Then the
Greenlake Regatta was held on a nice day as well.
My men's category is enjoying a good competitive turnout, and races like the 500m, 1000m, and 1500m are almost photo finishes this season. We are still wining the masters 500 and 1000, but not by much. We won the 500m and came in 2nd (or 3rd) at the other. Then the 1500m is getting away from us. We took 2nd to Silverdale, and then 2nd again at Green Lake to Autumn Rose. That last real 1500m was hard fought with 5 crews in almost a photo finish (well Autumn Rose had a 1/2 boat win). Racing side-by-side with Rod's Silverdale crew was exciting as the turns are so critical. John cranked good ones and we edged them out for 2nd. Exciting.
We now have a 9mi race Saturday - the famous Seattle Grind. Then back to sprints - and then the super fun and very challenging
Gorge Games race weekend.
