Thirsty Thursdays Series Oceanside CA


Oceanside Yacht Club has offered a spectacular opportunity for the Lido 14s of Fleet 21, 8 competitors are mixing it up for glass and gold trinkets. With eight races in the bag and 4 to go, the final outcome is VERY uncertain. There have been 5 different winners in the past 5 races, with Irish Car Bomb, guided by Holly Davis, taking the last 4 race mini-series. The 2 newest boats, A Little Quickie with Jack and Margie Bouckeno, and Slippery When Wet, skippered by Steve Rhodes and crewed by Joe Lopez, present increasing threats to the leaders.

At the front, Buckaroo, with Given Harrison and Lou Servatka, have amassed the top score, but they are tied by Swift River (Larry Rowe and Mike) when the 3 throw-outs are factored in. Holly Davis, Sue Miller, and Mike and Mallory Murphy have also placed bullets on the scoresheet. Jeff Satterwhite with Amanda (Hot Damn) have a lock on the Lanterne Rouge, since Jeff considers flying Jumbo Jets to be more pressing than his racing schedule. The final mini-series will start on July 30th, any interested teams should contact the Oceanside Yacht Club office.
