A special thank you goes out to our friends and neighbors who volunteered and sup-ported Pram Power on Thursday, August 7.  We could not put on this fun regatta without the donations we receive or the helpful and cheerful volunteers. We had a wonderful day.  As Pat said, the day couldn’t have been more perfect.  The skies were clear and the wind was perfect for 44 junior and senior opti sailors.
The sailors started the day with a skipper’s meeting where the judges did a wonderful job of explaining the course and the race schedule.  The wind was perfect allowing for the completion of 5 races (3 for the seniors and 2 for the juniors). The sailors occupied their down time in the craft arena, creating nautical flags out of Shrinky Dinks, making fish out of foam and CDs, decorating their own t-shirts and a number of other projects.  As usual, the lunch was fabulous and the fruit salad was the talk of the spectator boats!
Although attendance was down significantly this year, we managed to cover our insurance costs, which is the primary goal of this regatta.  The proceeds also allow us to buy three much needed sails for our optis. 
We are grateful for your support, not only for Pram Power, but throughout the year.
