What a great 3 days of sailing on a big sheet of ice. We may have to visit Green Lake again. I heard nothing but good comments.

Nice ice, nice folks. Thank you to everyone in the fleet who is helping me learn and improve. I may be at the 'back of the bus', but I am having a ball.

Thanks to everyone who participated and helped out making it a great event.

Thank you. Neil DN 5444 Title: Re: 2012 Western Regional Lakes Day 1 Results Post by: DN5358 on January 09, 2012, 03:43:17 PM Thanks everyone involved for making this a great trip. It is sometimes hard to justify a 1600 mile trip, but with the ice, wind and temps provide how can one not. The food and fellowship was all just icing on the cake!
Thanks for all those who supported and encouraged the kid out racing dn's this weekend. Just a few short years ago I recall Frankie and Cooper at Elk Lake sailing to the windward mark on the first leg of a race in their optis and stopping, causing very concerned dad's to run the length of the course to come to their aid..... Only to find they decided it was too fast and they were done. And yesterday I had to work hard to keep up with them. A very good weekend indeed. And thanks to Bill Mintz for making the trip with us. I look forward to you joining us at Nationals!

There is no doubt that without their efforts we would have never raced the Western Regional Lakes last weekend.
But the Biggest THANKS is owed to all the competitors who drive near and far so we can race our DN's. What a great three days of racing. Thank you for joining the Minnetonka DN'ers in the Land of 10,000 (frozen) Lakes!

That's what some of us get for not zipping out there soon enough for Friday's scrubs, or in my case, standing around doing absolutely nothing except being an easy target for a reporter: http://www.wctrib.com/event/article/id/88496/

There are a few more corrections on who was sailing which boats: should people send them to you through the forum, or by phone, e-mail? Thanks! Title: Re: 2012 Western Lakes Regional Regatta Final Results Post by: Jim McDonagh [us5214] on January 10, 2012, 05:29:26 PM Email me any corrections..
