2026 Dinghy Run – Taylor Lake

Clear Lake Dinghy Run – WYC well-wishers gathered and gave our little flotilla of 8 dinghies a fond farewell as we set off into the unknown waters of Clear Lake.

For a change the Lake was calm, so it was an easy run across to Taylor Lake.  Some of the dinghies had the right stuff and enjoyed a libation while underway, while others went so fast as to be up on a plane.

All went well except for the dinghy with David Hudson and Daniel Knierien onboard.  A fishing line snag fouled the propeller and required emergency fishing by David to clear it.  Luckily for him a passing Coast Guard boat was too late to look at his catch or ask for a fishing license.

Everyone else traveled deep into Taylor Lake and we all eventually landed at Sammy G’s for our party.  Several land yachts also joined-in so there was lots of chit-chat and good food.  Someone even had seconds on deep-fried pickles.

Thank you Fleet Captain Amy Holdaway for organizing the very successful event.
