Blow Hard Quiz: Cowan Lake Regatta

Steve Lavender humorously reports on the 2008 Blow Hard Regatta at Cowan Lake, framing the event as a quiz about why it was excellent. The regatta featured perfect sailing conditions in light to moderate wind, excellent hospitality including a chili cook-off, live music, inflatable waterslide for kids, and camping facilities. Steve Lavender dominated the series with 8 points, followed by Doug Fisher in second. The article emphasizes the event's social elements as much as the racing.
