Spring Millville...

DVORA has already put in a request with Mother Natures' office for a perfect weekend of weather in the Spring just as we had this past weekend. Looks like the kid restrictions will be fixed by Spring and eventually every state will require a license to operate a boat, we also may have a racing exemption in place as well. No reason not to take advantage of a great site, dedicated club, and kick butt Italian dinner! Put it on your schedule for next Spring, open up your season in Region 3. Thanks for everyone in attendance this weekend, Greg Lyons

How many Boats? And who did what?

[johnsonm50]

As a first timer at Millville I was impressed. This was a very nice site, well run and organized with an eye on safety. Anonymous helping hands were abundant and the pit area is flat, easy in / easy out. The course layout is a bit different and even includes an island in the fairway! The announcers were enthusiastic, and the chime of “Gaaaahhhhhreeen Flag!” carried us through the weekend and well into halfway home.

The race committee adapted to the boats they had and were willing to be flexible/creative to make the program as best they could while also trying to adjust class order in consideration of those who drove long to get here.

Those who stayed on the fence missed out on a fine regatta, surrounded by spectacular weather, with Saturday going to three-heat racing for every class. That‘s three-heats for one race on Saturday, then back to two-heat racing on Sunday. It was an unexpected and unusual circumstance that goes into the bucket for campfire stories in years to come.
And we were there!

Thank you DVORA and thank you to the Boaters Certificate Instructors that exist in EVERY state (obtaining that certificate was most definitely worth one day of my life to obtain the ticket to future races).

Also, a tip of the cap is put to the young lady who throttled up in Sunday’s turn one (20SSH) only to hit some chop and take a spinarama, yet kept her vessel and herself in an upright position. After the spray settled the patrol crew noted that her Yamato was held on by just one clamp, and that save surely puts the novice driver one step closer to closing in on the pack (next time…).

Learned secrets included why the Augustine parrot is named Bob, what in the heck a “WaWa” is, and the possibility that a 2011 regatta is maybe being planed for Berwick, Pa. More stuff too, but then I’ve said too much.

C-U Later!
GOODBYE NEW JERSEY.

I saw that from shore, it seems she[?] spun going into turn 2 & tried to go again & spun some more. It didnt look like the typical spin from losing traction.

Thanks DVORA for a great weekend. Three heats on Saturday made for some great water time.
Thanks to all that help put a new racer in the water.
