Oriental Women's Regatta, Sat, Sept 26, 2009


Annual Oriental Women's Regatta!
Weather was a bit challenging (swells as high as 4 feet and winds 25-30 with gusts up to 35) so all but three boats dropped out of the the race. Lucky enough to snag seats in the press boat captained by Will Flannery (high speed RHIB)(http://www.offshorerafting.com/) so had great fun chasing the boats and snapping photos. Gay vows that she will be in the race next year with Patina.
At evening soiree at River Dunes, Gay recruited Mary Haskins Gurganus to be on the Patina team for next year's race. Since neither Gay nor M.H. know much about sailing, should be interesting. Met many interesting folks that evening with many interesting boat stories.
