Last Spring Series Race- Sunday. 11 am skippers meeting at Pigtales parking lot.
Dirt up and awards at my home afterwards. Grill will be going and there will be dogs to pet. The puppy hasn’t completed her shots- so no other pups at this time please. Next time- absolutely. Address will be provided at the skippers meeting.

Spring 3 Results from 3/21. Due to conflict with LLSC schedule- Only 3 boats competed and 2 finished.
Screen grab of results best I can offer at this time. Still dumbing down my Mac brain to operate and find work arounds for a 30 year old PC only application.

Annnnnnnnnnnnnnnd no wind. Thank you to all competitors, shore crew/food/awards/cleanup, race committee, Jonathan Stewart for being PRO, LLSC and BFSC for trying to get some racing in.
We did have a beautiful afternoon to enjoy the sun, the birds, a few drinks, great food and some fun with friends.
We’ll do our best to reschedule. Stay tuned.

I’m going to go ahead and CANCEL tomorrow’s BFSC race. We’ll try again 2/21, which will also include the blessing of the fleet as a special pre-race ceremony.
Y’all stay safe and warm.
