Helped out with RC today for the SMSA Broken Rudder Regatta/Dinghy Distance Race. Rain and thunder in the morning led to an afternoon start, with 5 boats on the line. The weather steadily improved throughout the afternoon and we eventually had a beautiful day. In an interesting twist one boat actually broke their rudder, and we went on a rescue mission to pick them up and towed their boat with us for the rest of the afternoon. A bunch of dolphins joined the fleet for a bit which made for a nice show. All in all a great day on the water!
