...were the young captains of these Laser sailboats, who competed in the Laser Junior Regatta at Deep Creek Lake this past weekend. This competition, along with the Laser Adult Regatta and the Women's Flying Scot Regatta, were all held by the Deep Creek Yacht Racing Association, with races being conducted on both Saturday and Sunday. Winning the junior event was Josh Bullock, followed by John Benhart, Jessica Burnham, and Nate George. Weather conditions for sailing, as well as multiple other sports on the Mountaintop, have been nearly ideal so far this summer. Although a bit warmer than usual, still comfortable compared to the conditions in many other parts of the state and East Coast.

Fathers Day at Deep Creek Lake 2008

I enjoyed a wonderful Fathers Day at Deep Creek Lake State Park over the weekend. We went for a picnic on Sunday and hung out near the state park beach. My daughter Kayleah played on the rocks and searched for different kinds of bugs and creepy cralwies. My grand parents were with me, as well as my in-laws. It was about 85 degrees and sunny, and the water is almost warm enough that it doesn't take your breath when you jump in...almost.

After the picnic, we went took the boat down to a friends house at Turkey Neck. There was a sailboat race in progress and we decided to do a little bit of fishing from the dock. I personally didn't catch anything, but I did witness my cousin lose a 12" bass as she tried to pull it up out of the water...it was entertaining, to say the least.

We wrapped up a sun filled day with some dinner from Grizzly Grillin & some ice cream from the Creamery (thanks for the Fathers Day FREE scoop, by the way!). Coconut & chocolate butter fudge go together better than you would imagine. I also have it on good authority that Bill Meagher, the owner of the Creamery, is working on beer flavored ice cream...stay tuned!
