Spring Fling Cup Race and Dock Party 2024

Forecast high winds and gusty conditions deterred some participants this year. With that in mind, the 2024 course was shortened to remain in Saline Bay which is somewhat protected from the gusty south winds.

Brent Boyle on his Beneteau 35 and Lynn Easley on his San Juan 24 participated in the race. On corrected time, Lynn took first place, with Brent finishing in second place.

Afterwards John Springer cooked up burgers on the Notta-Yacht barge. Which turned out to be a pleasant evening to hang out on.

Congratulations to Ben Hooks and Bob Coker for finishing first in the annual Spring Fling Race. Under breezy conditions 5 boats participated in the race. The starting and finish line was just off the Lake Palestine Marina docks, down to Mallard's Bay, and back.
