* Whaaat's up? A J/100 Wins "There & Back Race" on Lake Michigan.
It just seems that Paul and Susan Herer are having a wonderful time
sailing their J/100 on the Great Lakes. Perhaps most importantly,
daysailing is their primary time to enjoy their J/100 WHAAT'S UP along
the Chicago waterfront. But, every once in awhile, they decide to test
their mettle against Chicago's best and sail in some double-handed races
together. Recently, they entered their J/100 WHAAT'S UP in the
Double-handed section of the annual "There & Back Race" hosted by
Belmont Yacht Club. While the usual race is a 47 NM course, this year
it was shortened due to light air conditions. Whatever the conditions,
it did nothing to diminish Paul and Susan's determination to get around
it as fast as possible, winning both handicap AND line honors for the
fleet! Congratulations! Yet another case, like their J/109 friends in
the recent UK J/109 Europeans, of promoting harmonious, marriage therapy
through sailing!
