For those of you who missed the Summer Games Regatta it was interrupted after only a single race. The short version of the story is that a micro-burst touched down and leveled every boat on the lake. As far as I could see every boat went turtle almost instantly. Thanks to the quick actions of the Coast Guard Auxiliary, the State Park Rangers and the local Sheriffs everyone was plucked from the lake safely (for the most part). I think only two of us made the trip to the hospital.

Many boats were damaged and broken. Hopefully we can get a few patched up well enough for the 4th of July Event which is only a short 3 weeks away.

Sunday there was also only 1 race held before the State Park Rangers kicked everyone off the lake at the first rain drop for fear of a repeat of what happened Saturday.  The remaining boats included a number of Lasers, a Thistle, 2 Swift Solos, and two catamarans (Shaun’s F-18 and a Nacra 5.7 that showed up to play).

If you missed summer games then you missed out big time!!! it was a blast! I have never seen a race with such tight competition, we really had a fun time.  What a turn out, there were so many new boats with colorful sails filling the lake.  A great time was had by all.

Last weekend at Utah lake, The keel boats raced in the first half of
the Utah summer Games.

It started out as a rainy, overcast day. Later
in the morning the sky cleared up and it turned into a beautiful Day.
There was a decent turn out of about 9 boats. Shaun, Coty, Pia, and I
went out on our cats to play while the keel boats did their thing.
Wade, Collette and Werner sailed “Hell of a Woman”, They were there to
represent the USA. It was Wades first race on his boat and they had a
great time. He finished 7th overall, even though he didn’t take a
medal he did beat BYU. Way to go Wade, It was a fun day, I hope the
weather is as nice for the summer games at Deer Creek. Brett did a

great job organizing and I think the Provo sailors Had a great time.
