In New England’s relatively short but colorful surfski history (whatever happened to that that guy who used to paddle with a porcupine balanced on his rear deck?), this year’s Lighthouse to Lighthouse may rank as the best ever all-around race. It had a little of everything: most of the top competitors from the Northeast and Florida, reigning world champion Michele Eray, spectacular weather, a convenient and accommodating venue, plenty of green and black boats, great hosts in Wayne Lysobey and Gary Williams, and enough good food to choke a family of porcupines (right – now I recall what happened to that guy). Best of all, however, was the smorgasbord of conditions out on Long Island Sound. The downwind dessert was among the finest we’ve seen in these parts. I could have done without the castor oil chaser of an upwind ending, but, hey, my dropsy has cleared right up.
