Speed on Fairlee Creek!
A 10-15 knot SSW breeze raised a chop on Fairlee Creek, but that didn’t dampen the enthusiasm and excitement for the Cocktail Class Wooden Boat Racing Association’s (CCWBRA) season end, Oktoberfest Regatta, held for the first time at Safe Harbor Great Oak Landing on October 15. Thirteen of the small (8’) home-built outboard-powered (6-8 hp) wooden race boats competed in several classes over a racecourse near the mouth of Fairlee Creek. Many spectators turned out for the races which were easily watched from Jellyfish Joel’s Beach Bar, which was opened for the event. The choppy conditions made for some exciting races (two boats flipped, nobody injured, just cold drivers in the chilly water) and as the breeze increased in the afternoon the last race was canceled. Nevertheless, lots of great racing for drivers and spectators.
