Championship no 1 Sept 18th


 Championship Heat 1

The first championship of the season started with another boring no wind start - however I did manage to take  a few interesting shots of the different approaches to calm water sailing.



          The  worried look on slims face indicates the conversation probably went like this," Are you sure that's enough rum? We could be stuck out here for a couple of hours".


              Then, Fuzzy Logic had the three blondes on board , so perhaps it was more like .........
  
Love your shoes .................yak yak yak............

There were so many dinghies out it MUST have been Championship......







                                There wasn't much happening anywhere, including on the yachts...

Yak ..yak.. oh tactics .....sorry !!!

The peolpe working hardest were the Tooters!


   But finally the race started, and the tactics of doing the exact opposite to your opposition came into play...




Frooty chased Freaky  ...but in other places...

some chose more permanant tactics.........


 
Freaky was freaking us all out!
                                                              
                           Those of us on Wayfarer started looking for weight to toss overboard...........


As we passed everyone heading home....
we settled  for eating the holiday supplies - thanks Jenny!!
  

Loco rounded the mark in front........

Upshot found the only wave in the harbour on the day!..


There was other action to amuse us  ................


or the "have a chat "option ......  after all we are  a social club!!!!

Rag Top made a picture .............






See you all later............ and that is another story....................
