LAKE EUSTIS SAILING CLUB

The Lake Eustis Sailing Clubs celebration of the longest day of the year with sailing on Saturday fell a little short on visiting boats because of the big rain predictions, but the rain stayed away and the wind was light, delightful and helped get almost a hundred people out sailing on a variety of vessels.

On Sunday the rain came as Tropical Storm Debby threw water and brisk winds to our area. The Laser Fleet has six races in the rain and mist with Rob Krentel first and Jerry Beck second. Marc Solal and Sam Chapin were tied for third. Michael Gapuz was the first youth.

Racing returns in two weeks and the Youth Beginners Sailing Camp starts July 9^th.
