So, did rain spoil your Sunday?
It sure put a damper on the Vancouver Lake Sailing Club’s regatta.
“It was a soaker,” said past commodore Gary Kokstis of Vancouver.
Told that more than an inch of rain fell in the seven-hour period preceding the 11 a.m regatta time, Kokstis said, “That’s about right, that’s about what ended up in the bottom of the boat.”
