Day one and two at Opti Nationals got off to a slow start when the wind
would not come up and the race committee had to call the race off for both
days. The competitors managed to have lots of fun however, as they
stayed cool by jumping into Lake Minnetonka, paddled canoes around
Light House Island, read Harry Potter, enjoyed the fabulous food put out
by the tireless regatta committee, and shopped at the booths set up by
various Opti shops. There was also a beanbag toss, football, soccer, and
volleyball. Despite the poor sailing conditions everyone made the most of
their time together and smiles predominated.
The Jewitt family hosted a fantastic carnival for the young skippers and their
families replete with bounce houses, games, prizes, ice cream and face painting!
A big thank you to them and the entire regatta committee for a fabulous few
days.
The latest buzz from the regatta venue is that the skippers are now heading out
onto the water as the wind has come up. Day three of Opti Nationals begins
and it looks as if it will be an exciting one.
