The pandemic played havoc with scheduling for the iconic long distance races like the Susan Hood. It's billed as the coolest race on then lake because it normally goes end of May or early June and temperatures can barely get above freezing in middle of the lake. But in 2021, cold was not an issue. Bruce Smith and his crew carried the QCYC burgee (of course they weren't flying it during the race) to a second place finish in their division.
