Week 6 (May 10), The first quarter of 2006 finished with a light air. John P started in the lead and took a total of 7 bullets. Good going. The maximum number of sailors on any night was 8. So DNS counted as 9. DNF scored between 6 and 8 points depending on which day.
Week 5 (May 3), Tonight Stevens Creek served up some wildly changing conditions. Some times we were sitting on the rail; other times we were hoping for any air movement that might push against the sails. Add in some major changes in directions, and there were very few dull moments for the 8 boats plus John G, who kept scores from the shore.
Week 4 (Apr 26), The breeze was a little light at times, but not many shifts.
Week 3 (Apr 19), No comments.
Weeks 1 & 2 (Apr 5 & 12), Last week, the weather cleared and we had pleasant sailing. This afternoon I had to make a go/no-go decision by 4PM. If I stayed at work, I risked getting tangled into something lengthy. I also had to make some stops on the way to the lake. The Doppler radar made me think the rain might eventually break, but I couldn't be sure. Last week was good, besides I had loaded some tools to move the dock. So I decided to go. I dashed across the rainy parking lot just about the time Art clicked, ÒSendÓ. At the gas station, other people were asking about boating lessons. I finally got to the lake somewhat after 5. There was a light but persistent rain, and no wind. I unloaded my tools to see if I could move the dock. I could easily lift the shore end of the ramp. If that was all there was, I am sure I could have walked it out without straining. However, despite the week's rain, the other end of the dock was still on the pavement. That end was so much heavier, there was no way I could budge it. We are going to need help from higher water levels or serious truck if the dock is to be used this season.
The drizzle persisted. I watch an osprey (I think) soaring over the lake looking for dinner. I wonder if s/he had read the notice on the bulletin board. That would be the notice that the fish have elevated levels of mercury and PCB's and you should limit the number of fish diners. The same notice says the water is safe and is used to replenish under ground aquifers. I don't understand where the fish get the contaminants if the water is pure. The rain persisted. No other sailors, not much wind. I decided to leave. No one at the restaurant parking lot either. Then the sun broke through the clouds. Time: 6:00 PM.
