Photos from this past weekend's race at Heart Lake, near Anacortes WA are now on line at http://community.webshots.com/album/461174967nlelnF
The race was held as always by Whidbey Island Roostertails, a small but outstanding independent racing club. Heart Lake is one of the finest short course courses to run anywhere, and situated at the foot of the San Juan Islands, is a drop-dead gorgeous place to go boat racing.
WIR used to hold 6-7 events there a year; the tree-huggers and armchair ecologists have now got it whittled down to one, and there on about a year-by-year basis as to whether they even get that one. Let's hope it doesn't go away....it truly is one of the treasures among race sites.
Thanks to all the folks at WIR for a GREAT Weekend!
