All Aboard for Ephraim!

The annual Ephraim regatta is this weekend. This is number 113 and it's always been the first weekend of August, so it has quite a tradition. This year it is also our District championship. Speaking only from the Clinton Lake perspective, we have something in the range of seven boats traveling to the event, so climb on board the Ephraim train y'all!!

There is always a big crowd. This year it looks like there are more than 30 registered. The good attendance is in part because Ephraim has many many boats, along with a very strong junior sailing program. This regatta gives the young sailors an opportunity to experience a full-scale regatta.

In addition, for those of you who don't know, Ephraim is a real destination regatta! Door County is gorgeous. I know, I know I was skeptical when people raved about it but I am a believer now! It is so green, and typically cool, and the water is clear and crisp. Many sailors come up from hot spots like New Orleans and and extend their stay on either end of the event. Who wouldn't want to escape the heat of New Orleans or Tampa and enjoy summer as it was meant to be?! So those of you in the Midwest District, appreciate your relatively short drive, and come join us in Ephraim this weekend!!
