What a great weekend of sailing!! Friday had perfect wind for the practice race. Saturday had very little wind but offered a tough challenge. The beer was cold, the BBQ tasty. Then Sunday offered some of the best wind you'll find at Folsom, slightly overcast and smooth water. Awards were delivered and a new Champion of the Camellia Cup, Mark Erdrich accepted the cup and thanked his awesome crew. Long time connections were renewed and many new friends were made. The members of FLYC and all of the additional volunteers really make this a special event. Thank you!!
