2003 Commodore's Cup: GSC

Sunny skies, a cool breeze and a record turnout of cars lined the streets
surrounding Sailor's Point for the 2003 Commodore's Cup. No less than 120
people, 31 boats and one fatted pig showed up for the fun.

Past GSC commodores and Laser sailors Norm Smith and Steve Dillon, as well
as 17 Sunfish sailors, including several guests from Palm Beach and
Melbourne, competed for beautiful etched-glass trophies.

Adding to the fun of the annual event were the Broward County High School Sailing Team, which consisted of 12 Four-Twenty sailboats, 24 sailors and double that amount of family and friends, who cheered them on along the Sailor's Point shoreline.

After-race festivities included a scrumptious pig roast with tables of
potluck fixings, a full keg of icy brew and a heap of laughter that lasted
long into the afternoon. After quickly filling up the parking area, nearly
80 cars lined 9th Avenue and the surrounding Hollywood neighborhood, and
all went home with warm smiles.

If you haven't come out to Sailor's Point to see the new energy current
Sunfish Commodore Danny Escobar has brought to "The Lake," then you better
check it out soon, because the competition keeps getting tougher. Of
course, some things never change our own world-class Sunfish skipper Tony
Elliot and Laser sailor Norm Smith went home with the hardware.

Thanks to all who helped, especially past GSC commodore Joe Ciancarullo,
who helped race committee Stu Barcalow and Joe Orlowski, and to Ed the
photographer.

We'll see you next time at the lake, all we ask is that you bring some wind.
