The Oxford summer regatta was held on Saturday, June 28th. The attendance was well below projections with only 3 Penguins and about 14 Laser Radials participating (in addition to the 50 Optis on two separate courses.  No-show fleets included Lasers, Snipes, Comets, and 420’s.  The wind was nominally southeast, but 60 degree oscillations kept the committee busy trying to keep the course aligned with the shifting  direction.  The Tred Avon staff were a bit zealous about keeping the fire lanes clear, and the famously guarded parking lot was completely empty when we departed around 2 PM after completing three races.  The Radials toughed it out in the dying breeze and managed five races.  We didn’t stay for the moon bounce, water slide, or free ice cream from the Highland Creamery, which were only for the junior sailors anyway, but it looked like they were going to have a lot of fun.
