2005 Pumpkin Day Gallery

From October 29th


The carving table was not crowded this year. Maybe it was the cool, cloudy weather.

Ben Sevdy carving for at least his 15th consecutive year (he claims with pride).

Antonio was carving for the first time.


His boat had quite a bit of freeboard, in case the wind and waves increased.


Grant was color coordinated for this day!

Ben Sevdy fine tuned his rudder for straight tracking.

We launched from the new kayak dock, so people didn't have to wade into the chilly water.

Ready, set, go!

Some boats headed east, while others sailed in every direction.

Kids racing were (L. to R.) Grant B., Antonio A. and David S.

The fastest boat of the day was David's.

David Streng was obviously pleased when he won race #1.

Ben Sevdy's boat went with the "lighter is better" design.

Andrew and David Streng took 2nd and 1st place respectively.

Trophy winners: David 1st, Andrew 2nd, Ben 3rd, Grant 4th and Antonio 5th. Great job guys!

This was the maiden voyage of Commodore Barr's Prindle 18-2 catamaran.

Antonio loved doing "S" turns.

He exclaimed, "This is the most fun I've ever had on the water."

We sailed for about an hour in less than 5 mph wind.

The boys held the boat while the trailer was backed down the ramp.

Antonio looked good. It was almost as if he had done this before.
