Covid Lemonade
J
By Michael Wagner
unior sailing activities all over the Bay have been a basket of lemons this summer due to the Covid-19 pandemic, with many traditional regattas and programs canceled. At North East River Yacht Club (NERYC) we’ve been muddling along the best we can, and (on a mid-July) Thursday the conditions were just perfect for a great respite. With a
delightful 15-to 18-knot east/southeasterly breeze, our 420 sailors blasted down the Bay on a long-distance sail, starting at NERYC and sailing over 15 miles to Oldfield Point on the Elk River in just under four hours. Coach Iain Shand accompanied them, and I heard that the crews were out on the trapeze for at least two and a half
hours straight. Everyone had a spectacular time—it was one awesome ride! At the same time, our Laser sailors land-traveled south to scrimmage with our friends at Rock Hall Yacht Club and had an equally terrific day with the same wonderful summertime breeze. So, while this summer has turned out to be so different than anyone had hoped for, sometimes all the lemons turn out making quite the pitcher of cool lemonade. 64 August 2020 SpinSheet.com
