Six boats turned out for the first Thursday evening sail for this year. The weather cleared in
time to provide partly cloudy skies, plenty of sunshine, and moderate, but shifting and at times gusty winds.
Three races were sailed with starts and finishes in front of the Bateman Island Marina docks allowing good viewing
for spectators. Outside of the marina area the Columbia River's Spring season flow resulted in surprising current
especially at the downwind turning mark where it was running fast adding to the challenges. Sailing was followed
by an informal get together and light meeting at Kimo's restaurant.
Race #1 (Red Channel Mark N'56'P-F).
Race #2 (Red Channel Mark N'56'P-F).
Race #3 (Green Channel Mark-F).

Four boats sailed on Saturday in winds estimated at 8-12 mph
and sunny skies. The predicted rain and thunderstorms did not
materialize providing good sailing weather for the Thistle and
Flying Scot sailors and allowing for the completion of three races.
The occasional wind gusts were present adding to the challenges of
upwind sailing. Unlike last Thursday's sail on the Columbia,
current on the Snake River was barely noticeable and not a factor
at the turning marks. Sailors met for post race lunch at The Burbank.
Thanks to Ray Peters for running race starts from the race-committee
shore location, and to Doug and Kathy for taking care of the marks.
Race #1 (S-1P-3S-F).
Race #2 (S-1P-3S-F).
Race #3 (S-1P-F).
All races used whistle starts.

Three boats participated in the 2nd Fun Sail Thursday night.
The July weather provided for good sailing with clear skies, 7 - 9 mph winds,
shifty especially near shore, flat water, stiff current at the turning marks,
and warm mid 90 deg temperatures. Three 20-30 minute races were sailed with
starts and finishes in front of the Bateman Island Marina docks and Kimos Restaurant
allowing good viewing for spectators. Sailing was followed by an informal
get together at Kimos. Thanks for all who participated and especially new
and visiting crews.

Four boats sailed in the 3rd mid-week event this year.
The typical August weather provided clear skies, and mid 90° F temperatures,
and 4-7 MPH SSW winds. Columbia River conditions included flat water,
and challenging current at the downwind mid channel turning mark,
especially in dying winds. Spinnakers were used for all race starts.
Three 15-30 minute races were sailed with starts and finishes in front of
the Bateman Island Marina docks and Kimos Restaurant. Crews met at Kimos
after packing up the boats. Due to sailor interest a 4th Bateman Island Fun Sail
may be added to the sailing calendar if time permits in the 2010 club schedule.
Race #1 (Red Channel Mark N'56'P-F).
Race #2 (Chiawana Park docks-F).
Race #3 (Red Channel Mark N'56'P-F).
All races used whistle starts.
