Come on up to the District 22 regatta on spectacular Flathead Lake in nortwest Montana, very near Glacier National Park. This is fun racing in a stunning setting, hosted by the North Flathead Yacht Club in Somers, MT.
Good winds early so they start us off first thing both days. Last year it was whitecaps for breakfast! Later thermals from the south due to the size of the lake and the surrounding geology. There have been some nice breezy days this summer, the water is turquoise clear, and the air is beautiful and dry. 80-90 highs, 50-65 lows.
Nearby Bigfork, MT is a thriving little resort town, with good food, and lodging around Bigfork Bay. Kalispell, MT is about 15 miles away and features an international airport.
Low $20 registration fee, free camping on the lawn, and dinner and beer Saturday night is included. I'll take anyone interested on a nice day hike up a nearby peak with views in every direction. I took some of these last weekend from the top of Mt Aeneus in Jewell Basin.
Thanks-
Mike Gilbert
