The 2008 PRSA Spring Season kicked off this weekend with the traditional Icebreaker on Saturday, sailing in front of the power plant. Low tide was at 2:01 PM, making for very shallow water for the afternoon. The AccuWeather forecast called for for mostly cloudy skies, rain off and on all day, with northerly winds at 10 MPH, and a high temperature of 62 degrees. The AccuWeather forecast was wrong! While we did have the northerly winds at 12 - 8 MPH (and calm at one point), the day was mostly sunny and pleasant, with not a drop of rain in sight. 3 Lightings came out and were joined by 6 Hobies and 8 Lasers. Frank Gallagher and crew provided Race Committee. What a nice start of the season!
