Saturday was Flip Flop Fabulous! Shifting breezes kept things interesting for the 59 boats on the course, the competition was tight, the Party on the Pier was an awesome chance to connect, and it was all in support of free sailing programs for kids! Thanks to all who sailed, donated, volunteered, and made the day so much fun: PRO extraordinaire Nate Peterson and the whole Courageous team, Dave Curry and Doug Ryan of Hull Yacht Club for the RC boat and support, Lance Ryley for the ratings wizardry, Gerry for keeping the music hopping, Constitution Yacht Club and Savin Hill Yacht Club, and so many more.
