The results are as follows:
- 31 points: Harold and Beverly Willard and Steve and Sheryl Davenport
- 30 points: Todd Stover and Lori Blanchard
- 30 points: Jully Martilla

The Whale Hunt is the brainchild of Yacht Club members Paul Hawker and Teresa Fidler, who served as Hunt Masters and greeters and tallied the results of yesterday’s event.
The Yacht Club has more events planned for this year. A current list of events are posted on the club’s website at www.canyonlakeyachtclub.com. The club is open to all Canyon Lake residents and membership does not require boat ownership.
