'Popping the Kite'


Yep more sailing again, some friends are visiting us from Victoria and the Sea King suggested we all go to Snapper Island for the day after the race that started from the club very early on a Sunday morning.
The log was filled in with the wind reading of S.F.A which to most of you will make some sense but himself 'popped the kite' for a spinnaker run to Snapper. And boy is the aforementioned kite pretty! Check it out!! I didnt take too many photos yesterday mainly because I was busy keeping an eye on the skipper for much of the day.
Our darling friend the Sea King has had a bad back for a week or so and probably should not have gone out yesterday as he spent much of the time prone on the deck without getting much relief but his crew had a fabulous time although one was rather freaked by the sail back (me)
Got him home in double quick time and hopefully he was able to get some relief and some sleep but will hear more later today. Fingers crossed for a recovery for him.
