Hey all, Day 2 of the Downriver series is today! Weather did not cooperate
(rain/thunder/lightning) last week, however, we had the following show up
and they all received first place for three races.
Chip Dettra - 3 points
Matt Rhodes - 3 points
Tom Berlin - 3 points
Michael Heinsdorf - 3 points
Da Allens (3 extra points for bringing crew) - 6 points
Diane Goebes - 3 points
AAron Boosenecker - 3 points
A laser - 3 points
2 SCOW boats - 3 points
If your name isn't on the list, let me know and I'll add it to my scoring
spreadsheet. Looks like the weather will be better tonight, so see you off
the docks at 6:15pm.
