2012 ‘Dash” to Chula Vista: Day 2

A cool and overcast day with light wind awaited competitors and their companion sailors for the leg back to Harbor Island.

That was not enough to temper the enthusiasm and the second part of the “Dash” to Chula Vista was another success, prompting the Chula Vista Yacht Club race committee to announce that 2012 was officially the first annual “Dash”

Another big thank you to the Chula Vista Yacht Club, the California Yacht Marina and all the volunteers who made the event possible.

And let’s not forget the Venetian Point Loma who supplied delicious pizzas for the after race party

Results coming shortly

You don’t want to miss the Koehler Kraft San Diego Wooden Boat Festival

Tomorrow is the last day of the Koehler Kraft San Diego Wooden Boat Festival.  Over 80 classic boats are  on display, from wooden prams to kayaks to 80ft classic wood sail and motorboats are on display for your enjoyment, the owners eager to share the history and stories bout their work of love.

Some are pure chef d’oeuvres of craftsmanship, like the kayak displayed behind the Challenged America booth.  That wood kayak is so beautiful with its shiny inlaid wood, I swear, it belongs in an art gallery.

if you are looking for bargains, Challenged America has a booth selling donated items, mostly boat related, from used sails to brass fittings to boat heads at great prices.

Children will have a great time, between the steam boat tours, the activity tent and the amazing boats on display.

A big thank you to the Koehler family and Koehler Kraft for organizing this great event for the 21st year
