De Luz Yacht Club Race July 25, 2009

 

 

 

It was another incredible weekend for a Yacht Race... Six boaters turned out for some very competitive racing. There was a critical moment in the first race when Crash MacKenzie (of 'I Could've Been A Contender Fame') tried to squeeze his boat in between Howard and Jeff's boats and as you can see in the picture above, caused quite a problem almost beaching both boats! Crash, you need at least the width of your boat to squeeze between them!!  The only thing anyone heard from Crash was "What I'm I to do, there was no place to go".

It was really nice to see so many boats on the Lake, it makes the races much more interesting. Would have been nice to see the Catamaran out there! Maybe next Saturday Doug will show and will have 7 boats... Here they are the results:

PS: Phil passed his drug test. Race #1:

Phil - 1st place

Jeff - 2nd place

Howard - 3rd place

Wes - 4th place

Vic - 5th place

Sue - 6th place

 

Race #2 results:

Phil - 1st place

Howard - 2nd place

Jeff - 3rd place

Wes - 4th place

Vic - 5th place

Sue - 6th place

 

Hope everyone had a safe weekend.

That's all for now.

Ciao for now! JC

Picnic/Yacht Club/Classified July 18-19 2009

Well is was an incredible weekend for a Picnic and Yacht Race...  Unfortunately I forgot to take pictures of the 140+ who showed up for a bounty of wonderful food, including a Gumbo that I thought was straight out of New Orleans...

For those who did not go; De Luz Fire Chief, Mike Manchor reiterated that if you live within 1000 feet of a fire hydrant, you insurance rating is 5.9.  Further than that it is 9...  A 5.9 is the same rating given to Fallbrook.  So check with your insurance agent if you think you're still under the old rating of 10, because you'll save a whole lot of money.

 

Yacht Races went well and I'm happy too report the results as given to me, because I not only forget pictures at the Picnic, I also failed to show at the races...  Here they are:

 

RACE #1       1st. - Phil

                      2nd. - Howard

                      3rd. - Jeff

                      4th. - Vic

                      5th. - Sue

 

RACE #2       1st. - Jeff

                      2nd. - Phil

                      3rd. - Howard

                      4th. - Vic

                      5th. - Sue

The Race Result and Bubba Too!

It was a most magnificent day for a Yacht race. The winds were mild and wild, changing direction and blowing crazy! Everyone could smell the smoke from the fire at Camp Pendleton impact area, but that didn't detour those dedicate to sailing on for the De Luz Yacht Club Trophy!!! We are mid way and Phil still heads the leader board.

We had a good show of spectators and visitors to our beautiful De Luz. They all cheered on as the boaters crossed the finish line in both races.

Race #1 results:

Phil - 1st place

Howard - 2nd place

Vic - 3rd place

Sue - 4th place

Race time: 15:17:30

Race #2 results:

Phil - 1st place

Howard - 2nd place

Dead heat for 3rd place.

Vic - 3rd place

Sue - -3rd place

Race time: 07:49:54

Bubba made an appearance at his first Yacht Club race. (see photos http://deluznews.net) He is a beautiful Australian Black Swan and he cruised the lake as if he had been here for years. You all must come out to see him, he is a beauty. Thanks goes to Alex, who lives above the lake... Rumors are Bubba cost him $1000! Thanks again Alex, we all appreciate and will watch over Bubba.

Ciao for now! JC

Yacht Club Race June 27, 2009

It was an absolutely spectacular day for a Yacht race...  Only trouble I was unable to attend and on a day when we saw 7 boats fighting to over take this years leader; Phil!!!  In fact it was over heard that some people are calling for mandatory drug testing after each race.  They're some who believe his juiced on something. Way to much focus!

 

The racers this week were: Phil, Vic, Howard, Wes, Sue, Jeff and Doug...

 

Race one results:  Phil, Howard, Vic, Doug, Jeff, Wes and Sue

Race two results:  Phil, Jeff, Howard, Doug, Sue and Vic.  Wes didn't race.

 

Seems Vic was quoted after what appeared to be his best start ever, until his boat stated spinning helplessly, "I could a been a contender again."  Better luck next time!!

 

Then again, you maybe coulda been contenders.  Was the race official without the official starter?

 

Ciao,

JC
