Ft Myers Series June 23, 2006
By John Kremski
We had six boats turn out for the July Sunday Sunfish races, with nice cool (for summer) weather and a good breeze - ten to fifteen all day, out of the northwest.  We got in six races before running out of steam.  First race, Forrest Banks tried to prevent a jibe by using his head - literally - at the downwind mark.  Must have made him dizzy, since he capsized after that, and again the next race before heading for shore.  Claimed he was OK, just had gotten all the exercise he cared to get for a weekend!!  After a few races to remember how to sail, Bob McElwain did a great job, with four bullets to finish first overall, 2nd place to Jim Summers, and third to Kevin Pierce.
