Fairway Buoy Race March 10th


It was a lovely blue sky , and outgoing tide and a pleasant 10 to 15 knots from a different direction to the instructions on the board back at the club apparently!

                                 ....the day started as always with the crew doing the work and the skippers discussing 'the course' ..  or supervising    ...........          What else ?


                            Actually Jeff looks like he is not sure what they are all stuffing around with.......

                           
                                                                    the view was nice.............



                                                    ..... luckily some take it seriously........


'cause most don't

                                                                                  
                         it's always about the ropes ........ isn't it ?  Personally i'd just worry about the colour...

                                      
                                                                                     
     hmm... that rope ... goes this way , then that one goes that way, then the other one just goes away!


Slim was on Immigrant so the best way to help was to stay relaxed..........



                            ........... with the  boys from Intrigue .. who need lunch before anything....


                                     .. a few new crew ......
                


Dirk and Sean wanted No Problems.


 but we had to go looking to see where everyone was.............




                                    .......  Carli then headed out to take in the views


                        .                               ......folowed by Solitaire



                                                       Of course Immigrant .........


                                           Lynne was driving Tuan..............


                                                soon everyone was out there .......

                                                                           
                                                .... even the lunch boys.. 

                                                                           

                                 there was still more chatting ...............


                                                  a few other boats - trawlers no  less....


                                                                     
                                       
Solitaire looks a bit exciting ....

                                       
                                           anyone got that big boat??????   or just having a chat?


cruising around, all in lines 


Sean Beyer enjoyed the ride


                                                                                                              
                                         Tuan got it together........ and made for the line ....



                              ah Ray ....... Turn right here !!!!!!!!!!!

                                     

                                                     Looks like a race ..............



and the finish at sunset was beautiful, but all those shots are on my phone  and we're not talking ........
