2014 Huddleston Cup

Image

The prestigious and highly coveted cups await the victors.

The past weekends regatta was a fun event although the wind was very light to say the least.

Sausage and Pancakes

IHOP customers do not generally appear as happy as these POYC sailors do when they woke up to the smell of coffee and sausage on the grill.

Pancake breakfast and Pork BBQ dinners were a huge reward for all entrants in this year’s cup. Carol K. and Doug R. commanded the spatula and heard the approving remarks of many hungry pirates.

As for the light air racing, I was so far behind that without binoculars I couldn’t really tell what was going on. I did see Connie P. for a while as she and Zephyr were hoping for just such. The race committee mercifully ended the last race as I waddled around within 30 yards of the last buoy for half an hour or so.
