Racing Fast Lane in 2002

2002 was an eventful year for me personally (a divorce, 2 trips to Europe, 1 to Canada, new boyfriend, Mom died), and unfortunately Fast Lane and crew took somewhat of a back seat. However, that said, we still accomplished the following:  - Won both the Spring and Women's ECSA Series in Spinnaker Class - Won the MYC Mermaid Regatta in Spinnaker Class - Placed 2nd in the Ohio Shoals Ocean Distance Race - Placed 3rd in the ECSA Summer Series and ECSA Fall Series - Had a ball, Cheryl and I, racing in the ECSA Double-Handed Race - Did a respectable 4th in both the MYC Spring and Fall Regattas - Beat Five Speed occasionally - Make them ALL look back - Wore out 1 1/2 spinnakers - Were fortunate to have a good, steady core crew for both the Women's and mixed-crew racing. Women's Crew - Mar 2002 (L-R) Karyn Pawlowski, Winnie Lambert, Cheryl Schmitz, (??), Jen Yacavone, Deb Fulton, Sherry Spring Regatta Crew - April 2002   (L-R): Sherry, Cheryl Schmitz, Jim Yates, Jen Yacavone, Floyd Bryan, Winnie Lambert
