There were around 21 entries including 11 Prodigys. Winds were very
light and I learned how to pump my Prodigy. I sailed great getting 3rd
in the Prodigy class. This year due to the warm September so far the
water was warm and we sailed in just bathing trunks. The Great Lakes
Windsurfing tour was there also with demo equipment and several locals
took them up on free lessons.

Higgins Lake South State Park campground provides a picturesque setting
for a regatta. For several people including myself this is a four day
event as six of us showed up Thursday afternoon to set our camps and
were rewarded with some high wind sailing on Friday. A good portion of
the remaining skippers pulled in Friday before noon.

Everyone camps together right next to the water with a start line just
a quarter mile offshore. The Saturday evening party had near 40 people
in attendance with the group taking over the second dining room in the
Timbers restaurant located just a mile down the road from the park
entrance. Pancakes and sausage for all was served in the camp on Sunday
morning.

We hope to see a few more new Prodigy faces in attendance next year.
