Friday, June 8 was a beautiful evening on Lake Mendota (well, except for a few weeds) for the first week of the 2012 Madison Opti Racing season. Past participants welcomed many new families. We're not sure if it was a record, but with 42 people (sailors, parents, grandparents, and siblings) and 14 boats, it sure was pretty close. The kids practiced making their way around a small race course and working out the kinks in a nice 8-12 mph breeze from the southwest. On shore we fired up the grill for hotdogs.
Returning sailors included:
Oscar and Martha Anderson
Will, Mica, and Cora Hanson
Kelsa and Kylie McCormick
Meta and Fritz Simon
Gus Wenning
Welcome to new sailors:
Stefan and Sorin Caldararu
Emily Newquist
Jamo and Olivia Foght
Lev and Talia Kerlow
