Jan. 1, 1999, 0729, Callatin Marina, Bob and Gail Bengard sailed in
Ken's Lido 14 for an attempt to win the Ice Breaker. Gail
photographed Bob and Ken on the initial run with her Christmas
present that does everything but think for itself, sound like a
great camera. Then Gail and Bob went for a cruise, and to finish
Bob and Ken did the third leg. It was nearly a moonlight sail as
we headed for the south end, but by the time the boat was in the
water the moon was down. It was cold, but the sun rising over
Mahogany Peak (7,194) put a bit of warmth out and it felt might
fine. It was a great day for the Ice Breaker in our jewel of
California. As Bob and Ken were derigging, California Fish and
Game drove up and wanted to know if we had any fish. One day beyond
the season! Ron realized he had erred when it dawned on him it was a
sailboat we were our on. A really fantastic day! Haven't heard if
any one was on the lake earlier. Submitted by: Ken Kane, Member at
