We were out at Chatfield last Saturday with my 19' Potter #784 (The one with the tanbark sails). We
had 5 people on board. This was my 5th sail since we bought the boat last September. Jim from
Conifer was also there with his 19' and another 15' bright red one showed up later in the day.
These funny gusts kept coming out of nowhere, followed by long periods of dead calm. I am really
surprised at the number of Potter's I'm encountering here in Denver.
