This past weekend, Dave and I drove down to see Day 2 of the Michigan Catamaran Championship (Hobie Fleet 126 and CRAM) in Michigan City .  It was a fantastic venue, with a PRO, Becky Ashburn flown in from San Diego.  We boarded the spectator boat. grabbed drinks from the bar and watched the sailing.  Shout out to our fellow Austin Lake peeps. Dave and Gail Stiemsma, Wally Elsner, Gina Noble, and Arch Mercer who were part of this event.  Congratulations to Dave and Gail, 3rd place in the Hobie 16 fleet (out of a 3 way tiebreaker for 1st), and Wally Elsner, who came in 1st in the Hobie 16 Open fleet.  Next year, this regatta will happen on the same weekend, so you can start planning now!  Also, there are several one day regattas on the Michigan City beach, the first one being July 20th.  I will pass on more information as I get it.
