This year, we are trying something new: housing all the competitors in dorms at the Fountainbleu State Park.  The rooms are clean, the beds are military, but the AC works....and given the weather, that's a HUGE bonus!

 

Speaking of temperature, it's in the mid-80's, but with 100% humidity (ie, rain), it feels like the mid-90's or worse.  There was wind early in the afternoon, but as soon as the girls all launched, it died.  The good news is that the sun has been out....After an hour of drifting, the coaches towed the girls back to harbor.  Another round of chalk talks were followed by cards, Scrabble, Frisbee and Rummycube.

 

For super tonight, we have a classic home-cooked Cajun meal of Gumbo, red beans and rice, plus the trimmings.  More news from the sticky shores of Lake Pontchartrain tomorrow.
