Canadian National Optimist Championship Day 5

Today was a great day on the water! First race was 15-18 kts of breeze, second race was 12-15 kts of breeze, and the third race saw the wind build to 18-22kts. The wind was from the South to Southwest so we saw great conditions and not a lot of slop. In the first race we saw 4 Loot sailors in the top 13. The kids appeared to be happy with their results and all seem to be smiling. After racing there was a barbecue at the club and then a talk from two time olympian and local sailor, Lisa Ross. Roberto seemed to enjoy what she was saying as it was most of the same that he has tried to teach the kids during the summer. After the talk there was a magician and he even had Roberto on stage to help out......too bad we had no cameras.

It seems that the summer just started and here it is regretably winding down. It makes you think back to all the posts and how we all had our stories of the kids and bringing smiles to our faces as we think back.
