Race A3 (S D C D X C F) was off to a slow start with one postponement due to light winds. Okanagan Lake’s flood gates have been opened in Penticton in anticipation of the spring run-off, resulting in lower water levels. The lower lake levels caught a few sailors by surprise grounding 2 boats near the Tolko plant. It was a light wind beat to D mark with 3 or 4 knots of wind. The spinnakers got a chance to fly to C mark and it was another light wind beat back to D mark. The race was shortened due to light winds, leaving the final 2 legs unfinished. A welcome goes out to the J29 who was out for the first time today.
