And we're racing!!


From the top:
Garry, Ken and Mick and the oh so serious racing......
Leaving the Commodore and Campbell in our wake after muffing the start
and the winner on handicap- Gus and the J!


My second experience of racing was fun, originally the course was supposed to be out to Snapper Island and across to Low and back to start but the wind was Shite according to the sailors aboard.  Then we muffed the start but once the famous Code Zero was up we began to fly!
on line we came in fifth on handicap we came in fourth and it was only seconds between boats on handicap!!
We crossed the line last but soon passed four boats but the leading pack we didnt quite catch although we certainly closed the gap- well except for that bloody Nacre of Mal's which finished an hour before the next boat LOL
I am getting this!!
and I didnt even  mind not getting to see my quilts in situ at the Airing of the Quilts! next year maybe

lol well the rest of the series was a bit disappointing and when i get some pics of our broach from a mate I will publish them.
Saturday was marred by the lack of wind on the first buoy race and the second was just dreadful lol
