Not one for the record books would be a kind way of describing this Sundays sailing conditions. We had almost flat conditions for todays racing with zero to 3 knots the only steady breeze that might be found on the water. The RC posted a full course in hopes of a building breeze but it was shortened to show just CEC when it was all over. We had a good clean start in a couple of knots of wind and were holding our own against the genoa boats. The breeze was a little better on the Eastern shore and boats like Blur and Flatchat made some huge gains playing the right side of the course. It is very painful to be stuck in a massive glassy area and see someone squeaking by you in a small zephyr. As the fleet floated Southbound towards the finish at C the wind started filling in from the South and grabbed the four boats closest to the finish allowing them to cross as the rest of us sat hopelessly motionless bunched up North of the line. Only one more Sunday and that will wrap up the Spring Fringe series. Expect lots of traffic and waves from all the stink pot powerboats that will be part of the Kelowna boat show next weekend.
