Flying Scots were tossed upside down and about a 1/3 of the 112
 boats were caught out in the storm.  (photo by Diane Cook-Tench)

People raced to help one another get all racers and
boats back in.  (photo by Diane Cook-Tench)

FBYC's volunteer crews were great, rushing out on motor boats to
help the people on Flying Scot and the Juniors. (photo by Diane Cook-Tench)


There wasn't much time before the storm was going
to worsen. (photo by Diane Cook-Tench)


The crews manning the tractors continued to work for
driving rain for hours. (photo by Diane Cook-Tench)

storm had passed. (photo by Diane Cook-Tench)


The rains started to pick up and we couldn't see much of anything
while the FBYC crews continued to haul the boats out into the night.

RRYC's Scott Vail, his wife Kimberly, and son John enjoy
dinner with us while Scott tries out a new red wig.

The Chris Stanley Band had originally set up under the outdoor tent.
We saw them pouring water out of their guitar cases before resetting
everything up inside and giving us a great performance.
