Regatta 2020
Greetings to All ALCA Members.
This summer we hosted the 58th Anstruther Lake Regatta in a most unique way. Thank you to each of you who participated in our 2020 Regatta from a Distance.
This year we had entries in three categories.
Family Photos: Our Family Photo entries are being loaded and arranged into a photo book which will be available for download by Thanksgiving weekend. We hope this photo book will serve as a reminder of wonderful memories that were made this summer despite our requirements to remain physically distanced.
Sailboat Races: We extend a special thank you to Carolyn Moss who enthusiastically coordinated our sailboat parade and races on Saturdays throughout August. It was great to see many boats racing and to meet new friends. The camaraderie built by connecting with fellow cottagers through this event is palpable and we look forward to more sailing and racing connections in the summers to come.
PRIZE EVENT
Fishing: Thank you to everyone who sent pictures of fish that were caught this summer in our fishing contest and we extend our congratulations to each of the winners.

While Regatta 2020 looked unlike any regatta in the past, it did give us an opportunity to continue making memories with our wonderful cottage community by engaging in some favorite cottage pastimes. We hope that you, your families, those you care about and those you care for remain well as we transition to our fall and winter seasons.
Sincerely,
Anstruther Lake Cottagers Association Executive Members
