We had a Frostbite race on Saturday and a NCR race on Sunday. The same three boats raced both days. It was cold, in the lower 40’s on Saturday and in the lower 50’s on Sunday, but the sun was shining and everyone had on several layers of clothes. Surprisingly, not one racer reported being cold on the lake. In fact a few had to shed the outer layer. On Saturday, the wind was 12 to 20 mph and much of the time a rail was in the water; very exciting. On Sunday, it was warmer and wind was less than 8 and at times was zero. It was good to be out on the water. Most had reservations about going out because it was so cold, but it had been a while since we have had decent weather so we decided to go out and if it was too uncomfortable, we could come in. Saturday night, we had a club burn with sides of mashed potatoes, corn on the cob and an excellent cauliflower dish prepared by Susan Morris. Donna Poth and Susan also brought appetizers. The club burn is a bring your own meat event and some brought steaks, some hamburgers, and Bob Horan opened a can of chicken. Bob passed around some left over Halloween candy for dessert; something called eyeballs which were chocolate with some kind of soft center and they were quite tasty. It was very cold Saturday night, but we had a combination of electric heaters and a propane heater which warmed up the place nicely. We closed off the kitchen area and crowded in there for the meal. Good food and good conversation. Those attending the club burn were: Tom and Donna Poth, Jimmy and Charlotte Harrell, Ken and Jennifer Griffin, Bob Horan, Bill and Will Lewis, and Bill and Susan Morris Watch the club web site [home page->http://osyc.net/SPIP/] and the [club calendar->http://osyc.net/SPIP/article.php3?id_article=187] for upcoming events. Our next race is February 27 and the next party/dinner is March 20, a St Patrick’s theme event. Last year was a big hit. Jimmy
