2012 Frostbite Series Race Day #1

This is what Pullman looked like this morning.  They just closed HWY 195 from Pullman to Lewiston.  It’s still winter isn’t it?
Hope to see everyone at the meeting on Thursday.

2012 Frostbite Series – Make-up Race Day #1

Well, the forecast failed us yet again.  While is was a beautiful day to be on the river, the wind never filled enough for racing.  A light breeze from the west about 2:30 took Greg’s boat and Mike’s boat upriver under spinnakers while the rest of us pulled our boats.  Robbie pulled the marks and played around it a light wind as we drove off.  Maybe next weekend.
