A fantastic event hosted by Royal Lake of the Woods YC came to an end on Sunday, July 16.  Everything played out well with sunny and warm weather and a constant breeze between 9-15 knots. The club has an abundance of friendly and dedicated volunteers who billeted and fed the athletes and made sure, they were driven from the island to their cottages in the morning and the evening.  There is a reason that Lake of the Woods is called ‘The Best Kept Secret Ever’!
