Alum Creek Regatta 2009

By Scott | May 9, 2009

I managed 2nd place in  A-Fleet as the Mistral Prodigy is pretty much king in light air conditions.      Unfortunately several or more people that might have been there had been on Hatteras trips the previous week before.   That means Alum Creek would have been their third weekend in a row windsurfing so I don’t blame them for not showing.  What changed is the Ohio and Michigan clans are doing the same Hatteras week now a bit later.  Next year the Alum event will definitely need to be moved back to the weekend before Memorial Day.    That will give people a couple week break or more after Hatteras week.  Anyway, I had much fun at  Alum Creek and it was good to see some racing friends after a long winter. 

I towed the Lucky Dog down on Friday and camped close by to the event site.   I got some decent practice in late Friday afternoon which helped stretch the muscles out for Saturday’s competition.   We did seven short races on Saturday in light winds.  Sunday the wind didn’t show though it surely was a nice warm spring day to sit around and talk windsurfing.      In the picture above racers head up wind with blues skies in the background Saturday May 2, 2009 Alum Creek Reservoir Columbus Ohio.
