The Turtle Regatta has always been full of surprises. This year the regatta held over May 4th and 5th weekend at Willamette Sailing Club in Portland proved not be an exception.

It was blowing a steady 15 knots gusting up to 29 knots and the wind was coming from the East, which meant that the gusts were shifty and squirrely.

Fleet 62 Spring 1,2,3 recap
by Joe Davis via Yahoo Groups
Don't know all the details, but this is what I remember:
Went to the local pond today for the Spring 1,2,3 Regatta. Didn't do to bad, we didn't capsize, break anything and finished all 3 races. Janet did get knocked in the head once when the mast gybed unexpectedly.
