Head of the Harbour

                         
                              I am keeping this brief ..........'cause this is the third time I've started.........


                                                   Solitaire was out early testing the waters



On Immigrant it was "Hang On tight and go together"




                                                 Da Lukje looked swift as she cruised along



                                  but..........     I'd just like to point out a couple of things ............

                                                  .. the wire railing all seems to be at the wrong height ......


A nice clear shot.... very sharp.... and where is the face ? I ask you!!! Boom boys??


All scrunched up .. with no names on 

                                                                         
                                                                Cabins too high and canvas sunshades ...

                                                                                 

                                        Why can't you all be more like Graham?????????????
   
                                                                     
      
                        The start was great -- Not really sure what was happening .. but I have the feeling I was not alone there........

                                  Loco seemed to have the advantage ... ask the umpires on Solitaire .. they had     ringside seats....


                                       .. then Loco started to tack away ...........What THE ?
                                           


                                                  Woh .. They were leaving the field clear for Immigrant


                                                         
                                                 .. and away they went
                                                                         

                                     just pointing out the above shot was taken as No Problem (ha ha) passed them.......

                                                                  Da Lukje played with other boats..   
                                            
                                                                               
                                     actually .. I should say the Tug was well clear ... the camera likes to lie!    

                                                                         
                                 This was the view from No Problem... until they faded into the distance..


                                                                             We had a visitor 

                                                                                
                               to remind us that Middle Bank was there......Kids.!!!.. as if we'd forget....


                                                        ..   the crew on board had a few moments



                                                  where they wished they'd stayed ashore 




                                   Gordon drove while Ray learnt to be crew again... and sweated it out..

                                                                                     

I never did get a shot of the blue spinnaker under the boat as we diddle-daddled around on the harbour.

                             It just doesn't seem tactful to run for the camera when all hell has broken loose... 
                                                     but on another boat...   
                                       

                                                                                
                                                       ...... a few others had to work......

                                                                                    
.                                                                and another pink sky ended the day..
