Blue Hills West (Houghton's Pond)
Milton, MA
June 8, 2014
Meet Director: Tim Parson
Temperatures for this meet were in the 80s, but NEOC had a shady spot reserved at the southeast end of the pond, from which you could look across at the hordes on the public beach. It was a good day not to be based at the main Houghton’s parking lot!
Courses were set by Andrew Vakhutinsky, who couldn’t stay for the meet itself but who put in many hours of work on course design, streamering and control-setting, and vetting was done by Peter Amram. Participants had fun on all the courses, though the heat and inevitable climb slowed down times somewhat. The day’s winners, from White up to Red, were Jared Regan, Bridget Hall, Linc Berkley, Patrice Miller, Richard Powers, Ian Finlayson and Ian Smith.
After competing, many stayed for the potluck barbeque and annual meeting, eating watermelon while listening to reports on the club’s activities and future plans. In all, it was a satisfying end to the spring season.
In addition to Andrew and Peter A., many NEOC Board members and others helped out at this meet: Joanne Sankus, Pete Frykman, Jim, Raina and Logan Crawford, Jim Paschetto, Jeff Saeger, Tim Booth, David Penfield, Sam Levitin, Ian Smith, Bill Binette and Richard Powers. (Apologies if I am forgetting anyone.) Many hands make light work!
