The South Shore Club on Lake Geneva has front row seats for the Sailing Championship and Buddy's on fire... !!!
I just jumped off the boat on the South Shore Club Pier for a showing…landed the boat and didn’t take out the pier. Today is the most exciting kind of weather for spectators and sailors A Scow racing. We have 18 mph and white caps, the wind is howling …I have counted 3 wind surfers flying’ by before the start. Boats are deciding on more crew and the young sailors used for their weight and enthusiasm have their hands in the air “pick me!”. They know its going be a heck of a ride. You will recognize lots of Lake Geneva boats out competing. Look for “G”.. I12, Gordy’s, “Eagle”… I1, John Anderson and Buddy Melges, I7.. “Mad Cap” T Freytag, I96 “White Magic” Chuck Lamphere and Hans Melges, I26.. “AJAX” Mike Keefe and Art Larson.
Cheer them on at the marks and see how fast these boats go screaming by your boat. Buddy Melges has got the moves, wins the first race with a huge lead and now rounds the mark in first… Passing I7.. Lots of excitement!
