For my Coastal Bend sailing friends wondering what I’m doing up in San Antonio this weekend, I’m here at Woodlawn Lake helping with the Micro Magic R5 Championship Regatta — and Day 1 could not have gone much better. We were greeted with near-perfect sailing conditions with steady 10–12 mph winds out of the southeast. […]
Saturday’s sailout started with heavy thunderstorms rolling across the entire Coastal Bend region early in the morning. Normally that would have been enough to keep most sane people at home, but the Weather Channel insisted the storms would clear offshore by around 9:00 AM. Against all odds—and perhaps against better judgment—we loaded up the gear […]
Just a reminder that we’ll be out at the L Head tomorrow from 12:00 PM – 4:00 PM for the monthly Coastal Bend Model Yacht Club sailout. The weather is looking good, the boats are ready, and the grill has been in “training” all week preparing for hamburger duty. My wife will also be joining […]
Join us this Saturday for our monthly sailout! We’ll be sailing from the L Head, same as last month—easy access and a great spot to get on the water. Time: 12:00 PM – 4:00 PM I’ll be firing up the grill for hamburgers, and there’s a good chance I’ll bring along some of those well-known […]
A well-deserved thank you to Denise Delgado! Denise, our scorer for the 2026 Salt Water Challenge, had to slip out before the awards ceremony, so it was great to finally catch up with her today at Woodlawn Lake during the DF95 Travelers Series regatta. In the attached photo, I’m presenting her with a small token […]
Another excellent day on the water in fabulous downtown Corpus Christi. We had three RC Lasers on the water, and while the turnout was small, the conditions were just about perfect. The wind settled right into steady C-rig conditions — ideal for the Lasers — and it held consistently through the afternoon. With the breeze […]
What a great day on the water. The new sailing location at the “L” head by Cooper’s Alley proved to be an outstanding choice. Access couldn’t be better — we’re able to back vehicles right up to the water, which makes launching and retrieving the boats about as easy as it gets. There’s also plenty […]
The 9th Annual Saltwater Challenge is officially in the books — and what a weekend it was. From the first buoy set on Friday afternoon to the final awards photo on Sunday, this regatta showcased everything that makes our event special: competitive racing, demanding conditions, seamless teamwork, and unforgettable camaraderie. Friday – Practice, Preparation & […]
Our hearty setup team braved the cold, howling dawn winds to deliver and rig all equipment, set the course, and deploy buoys before most sailors even arrived — a tremendous effort that set the tone for the day. Sustained north winds around 20 mph with gusts pushing 30 created serious conditions. Waves from two separate […]
The Saltwater Challenge fleet dropped anchor tonight at Blackbeard’s on the Beach — a pirate’s paradise loaded with nautical treasures and enough character to make any buccaneer feel at home. Another seafood feast was plundered and thoroughly enjoyed by all hands on deck. Between tall tales, sea stories, and plenty of laughter, the crew’s camaraderie […]
