A selection of some oldies but goodies from the season past

Wild windy and wet weather has put a damper on consistent sailing races so far this month, so i have decided to amuse us all with a few photos from the past season,
starting with a nice one of Ray and crew in No Problem, chasing Soveriegn Lady to the start line...........


                                                                            
 ...........................................and then a nice action shot of Super Freaky ..................


                                                                            
             ............and here is one for Saskia to remind her that she could be here sailing El Encierro in sometimes sunny Queensland instead of watching snow fall outside her office window in Zurich!...

                                                                            
                      and one of my favourite shots of Wistari with Tim patrick on watch .....

                                           

                      we haven't seen Rumbo out this season but she deserves a mention....
               
                ....another favourite.... Piranha's first race at the PCSC .............................
              

                             ............hmmm... are boats actually meant to sail on that angle?.............



                                                                obviously NAP is........

                                                               .. nice bow of Rag Top..............


                                            Immigrant gets a guernsey ...  .............          

                                         ..... it appears the crew have jumper ship...............   

                               or just all putting the weight on the bow.............!

                                                                          
       of course there is always the opposition to contend with on thw Harbour........................


and on the next day, it looked as though NAP was trying to split in half .....






Cary behind bars



                                                                  solitaire

                                                            No Problem? ...........Sure thing!!

                                                  and off they go again.............!

Twilight Sail Friday 5th November

It was a quiet evening sail with only five yachts venturing out on the water, but all well crewed with hardy night time adventurers.
The sun was shining when we left........


                                           and headed out ...................                                                                            

                                                                              
                                Super Freaky led the start  between Patsy Lee Lookout and A8,

                                                                               

                                                               
                                                                                    
                                                                      then followed Immigrant,

                                                                                    
                                               ...we just love a wharf or two....................




                                                                                 
                                                                       Intrigue

                                                                            

                                                                             
                                              the crew on Wayfarer were tied up with violin ..........

                                                                but they made it................

              and on No Problem..................we had a few converts ........................


we sailed in to pink skies .........
                                                                                                                                 


                                                                                 
                                                  and so on....

                                                                                        

  
                                                               ..the light was fading..............


the harbour lights were shining..........


                                                                                              
                  .                      

                                                               ..there was a passing parade.............              

                                                     the sun illuminating the ship......    

                                                                and we watched the sun change   ...

                                                         from gold  ........to pink......

                                                      

                                                              ... and the light was gone...................
