Spring Fling Cup Race and Dock Party 2024
Forecast high winds and gusty conditions deterred some participants this year. With that in mind, the 2024 course was shortened to remain in Saline Bay which is somewhat protected from the gusty south winds.Brent Boyle on his Beneteau 35 and Lynn Easley on his San Juan 24 participated in the race. On corrected time, Lynn took first place, with Brent finishing in second place.
Afterwards John Springer cooked up burgers on the Notta-Yacht barge. Which turned out to be a pleasant evening to hang out on.
