Thanks to our friends at Rappahannock River Yacht Club for a superb and
fun regatta in Irvington today. Optimists, Sunfish, Lasers and 420's
raced on Carter Creek within sight of the club dock. Winds were 12 - 15
knots at the beginning, but moderated somewhat for the second and third
races. Sailors came mostly from Indian Creek, Rappahannock River and
Fishing Bay Yacht Clubs, as well as Premier Sailing.
After the races, everyone was treated to a cookout and all sailors received a t-shirt.
Kramer Koedel placed third and Austin Powers fourth in Optimists, and Quentin Jenkins and Madeline Alderman placed first in 420's.

Crop Circles in Deltaville?
No. Aliens havent landed, its Bubba the Wildflower Fish Shaped Meadow at Holly Point Nature Park, home of the Deltaville Maritime Museum. Thanks to Brad Sindle of Crows Nest Photography, the aerial view of the meadow definitely shows a fish shape wildflower meadow with surrounding grass meadows.
The wildflower meadow was planted in March, and through the spring and summer the 3.81 million seeds have taken off and colors have been ever changing. While the view from the top doesnt show off the wildflowers, its definitely worth a walk around Bubba to appreciate the colors and the butterflies.
The meadow was funded by a grant from NIScource/Columbia Gas Transmissions …

Great article about the Leukemia Cup in today's Flair Section of the Times Dispatch. "Copyright Richmond Times-Dispatch, used with permission."
The first sailing lesson came before we even stepped off the dock.
"You have to have a sense of humor to sail," said Willard Strickland, a sailor with a sense of humor. "If you don't, you're going to have a miserable life because so many things can go wrong."
The second lesson became evident soon enough: While just about any reason to go sailing on the Chesapeake Bay is a good one, occasionally reasons emerge that are particularly decent, compelling and noble. Reasons such as 4-year-old Katie, 7-year-old Hannah and 11-year-old Blake.

Yesterday at the VA State Opti Championships at Norfolk Yacht and Country Club our Quentin Jenkins got a second
place in Blue Fleet and Fifth Overall. His results were aided by one race in very light air where he got a first place - due he says, to the good practice he has had at FBYC this spring!
Last week at the US Sailing Chesapeake Bay Junior Olympic Festival CBYRA Bay Open Championship Quinton Jenkins and Annie MacKinnon represented FBYC against a very tough 38 boat Opti fleet.
And results are now posted for our own June Junior Regatta at June Junior Regatta Results
