Jess Atkinson dominated with Six Bullets. Well sailed, Jess!

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!

While some massive holes remained, the winds trended more westerly for the Odom Fleet. RD Keith Sternal ran a series of medium courses for our largest Odom turnout of the year:
