Rose Bowl Regatta Ends on Alamitos Bay

Belmont Shore resident and locally well-known sailor Bob Blair and his family hosted a high school team and coach from Washington State for the Rose Bowl Regatta this weekend, and a great experience was shared by them all.

Blair e-mailed from the waterfront:

"The Rose Bowl Regatta is hosted by the USC sailing team out of the U.S. Sailing Center (near the Gondola Getaway at the entrance to the Peninsula), and Alamitos Bay Yacht Club, both in Belmont Shore. Blair reported by e-mail:

"Today, Sunday, is the second and final day of the regatta. There are both high school and college teams participating. The teams sail in the Bay near ABYC and off of the Belmont Pier. Viewing was easy and free.

"Nearly all of the local and not so local colleges have teams participating. The out of town schools have local Long Beach kids on their teams, so that is special too.

"We are hosting a high school team from Befllingham ,WA at our home. This team stayed with us last year and is a  great group of kids. They are in 10th place after their first day of racing."

Blair shared a photo (see attached) taken during the afternoon Sunday and Patch invites you to share your photos, as well.
