A sharp warning blast broke the early calm that usually characterizes Plum Gut this morning, as all eyes turned toward the race course to watch the opening Fizz Cup 2008 qualifying fleet explode across the Start Line.

Taku Raymaker was today’s Race Director and handled things flawlessly. Of course Bea Woodget, the Cup Director, was also at hand to coordinate and supervise the event.

Since the first round is still in progress, I can’t tell you very much about the results yet… but hold onto your sailing caps and grab your hiking harness! These races are incredibly exciting, and you should check the calendar and stop by when you can to cheer the contenders on.

An when you show up… give a HUGE round of applause to Bea and her crew for organizing what proves to be a phenomenal, landmark setting event!

GO FIZZ 2008!!!
