Congratulations to Hampton YC skipper Joe Buczkowski for winning a closely contested regatta, and thanks to the Fleet 50 and Susquehanna boats that traveled down to Hampton VA to participate in the 2-day 2005 Hampton Fling.  The weather for mid-November was outstanding -- sunny, with highs in the low 60s on Saturday, and in the mid-70s on Sunday -- with  southwesterly breezes at 8 - 10 MPH.  The trip down was easy, leaving the Washington Sailing Marina at 6:15 AM on Saturday morning and arriving at the Hampton Yacht Club's excellent facility at 9 AM, with one rest stop along the way.  The after-racing party on Saturday featured a most enjoyable oyster roast and potluck supper, and the opportunity to socialize with a large contingent of friends and neighbors of the Hampton Yacht Club.
