Baker Tops Again at Oyster Roast
John Baker won the Oyster Roast Regatta (October 9-10) at Severn Sailing Association for the third time in four years, prevailing over a tough fleet of 30 Thistles. Lloyd Kitchin finished second and Don Stehle third. The regatta featured excellent fall conditions with 8-12 knots on Saturday and 15 knots on Sunday, traditional oyster and beer after racing, and drama in the fifth race when Baker fell out of his boat but was rescued and returned to finish fourth, securing the overall victory.
