Lady Skippers Day


The weather wasn't  much to write home about, but the crowd arrived ready to party; there was no wind, but most managed to get around that .. the rules were written by Lynne, but we managed to get around most of those too...everybody took photos.. and so here are a selection of different vies of the afternoon...

                                    No Problem was coal dust free and actually tidy .. Ray had been away..
                                                                  
 
The sky was cloudy and grey ..


                          Restless was losing points for Spinakers already!

 
We played fair and only used one engine... Mainly because it wouldn't shut down!

 
 
I was planning on the biggest camera



                                          The crews were looking busy at the start..

 
 
Well.. some were ...
 
 
 

    


                                                       shades of grey everywhere




                                                                 Head waiter !!

 
Restless crew were happy ...
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Rag top was a standout ...




The girls on Restless took control




 
 

 



                           Restless was losing more points than that spinnaker could handle




                                                        Muriel bought the goodies...

 
Rag top looked a picture

 
 
We all looked for JC1.. and found it..




 
 
 
Muriel and Ray discussed tactics

 
 
while I .. surprisingly .. took photos
 
 
 
 
Restless was haloed by weird skies

 
Team Beach


 
 
 
 
Everybody is a photographer these days....

 
Evan in B&W they kept it up...




                                      

                                                                    Everybody starred



 
WE crossed the line at a carefully timed 1500 hours, then let the others steam ahead

 

                                                We had the maintenance guy back again..

 
Brien and Karen had the place looking pretty in pink .. High Tea style.
 
 



                                                     The girls celebrated

 
 
In hot pink style



                                           

 
                                                 .........and the results were clear

                                                                      a good day had by all...
