I just got back from the GTIYC Fun Regatta at Lake Leelenau, Michigan.
It was a great weekend, with nice spring temperatures, good wind, and sailable ice. The trophy for the most enthusiastic sailor has to go to first-timer Johnny Carnaghi, who was heard constantly whooping and hollering as he beam reached back and forth behind the fleet in his mini-DN. Even though he didn't race, he must have put more miles on his boat than anyone else
Here are the results:
