Farewell Mark Hallberg! August 24th Odom & Soling Points

The Argonauts turned out in force to say Farewell to Commodore Emeritus, Lifetime Member and Procurer of Sandwiches, Mark Hallberg. Mark is departing for the Great White North of Eugene Oregon and will be missed by Argonauts everywhere. Good Luck, Mark!

The ‘May Grey‘ is gone! But a bit of ‘June Gloom‘ lingered early in the day as the Odom Fleet began their monthly Points Races in strong yet shifty westerly winds. Thanks to RD David Stong who took charge of both Fleets, set the marks, called the courses and took the results:

For the Soling 50‘s, the winds slackened a bit but the sun cut through for a classic golden-blue San Diego spring afternoon!
