October 12th 2012...
We were looking through rose coloured glasses for much of the day as the blue skies, puffy clouds blue water and colourful sails created a picturesque scene on the harbour.
The pontoon was crowded , as yachties prepared for the race ahead.......
Dirk and I were the first shot of the day ....
the pontoon was looking high and dry..........
but with a bit of jostling ..
everyone headed out to the harbour......
little boats, big boats and big start boats..
.... we could have been in Zanzibar....
Jackson ambled out...
Solitaire was still working it out...
Ken drove the press boat!
I bet you were all too busy to notice that sky!
.. yachts prowled back and forth ,
...waiting for the gun.........
Starship came out for the day..
.. but Colleen sent them on their way...
which was fine .. until the Commodore decided to take the spotlight..
.......... and we had to tell him politely to ...."nick off" ........
.to continue..........
Rag Top got away
Slim soldiered on ...
Loco had a good start...
..and then the dinghies took off on a sweet breeze,
Rowen
Scott
Ben and Jordy
we couldn't miss Martin and Jack..
David
Maria
Peter followed by Scott
Ben and Jordy had fun
.. hard to hide if you make a mistake ... isn't it...?
.. the skiff boys ..
found Scott...
john
after consultation... the course was shortened.. as usual...
the Doctor led the way ...
the happy crew of Immigrant..
Loco had the new crew on foredeck...
and before we knew it ........the day was done...
