On 1/1/12 LMSA held it monthly Tequila Sunday race. Because it was New Years Day it was coined "The Hangover Regatta". We do this once a month during the winter months and its open to all sailors. For more info go here: http://www.flalmsa.org/wp-content/uploa ... 30-pm..pdf

From the LMSA Commodore
17 boats were out on Lake Monroe Sunday for LMSA's first Hangover regatta. It was our second edition of our new Winter Patron Tequila Races. Normally these will be held the 4th Sunday of each non-daylight savings month, but being on X-mas this year we relented and moved it back. It does seem like we should keep this January 1 date though, it is a good way to start the year.

What a beautiful winter day, sunny, warm, but very light air to start. The first hour or so of the race was a slow crawl with shifty winds ranging from southerly to northeasterly. My bubbly soaked brain didn't seem to be any more decisive than the wind so it seemed apprpriate. Eventually, the western edge of the lake darkened and a wind line finally made it over to the bobbing boats on the east end of the lake. Somehow, the Hayden crew and the Everly crew were there first to take advantage as the rest of us watched and waited. The last leg of the race was a smooth and steady parade of reaching boats. Once again it was the San Juan 21 fleet taking the top 4 places and at the top were the Everly's with a narrow 12 second win. Congratulations. Kyle said he will be opening both his prizes at the After X-mas party the 21st.

San Juan 21 racers took the first 4 spots!
