The Three Island Race



    
 It was a beautiful winters day in CQ, with blue skies, the wind skittering across the water, crystal clear  reflections and a fleet of yachts and team of runners prepared to enjoy the day.

                          Thylacine was the first boat off the pontoon and Mike and Brett Stevens
                                                              took it away for the runners
              

Mike was into it from the word "GO"


followed by Brett who changed tack before the start gun


and with a happy crew Thylacine was away///



.. then along came Tuan..all in order



but I missed the runner I was so intrigued by the action on board..




Third in line was No Problem... with a few aboard for the morning outing



                                    ....the first of the multi's for .... which PCSC is becoming renowned..


Charmaine was afloat with triumph ... and that was just the first run!!


 and so .. away





Intriigues runners came at pace ...


a father / son team .. perhaps.??


.. jumped aboard and the quick tri was gone ..



then along came Mark .. a streak in fine form as usual..


and behind him his team..



and with Lex and his new recruits Brad and Graham



                                        They spent a bit of time doing ship board safety ..


                                  and that was the last boat ... finally away..



                      ...... now ......there were lots of adventures,...
                                               people fell out of dinghies,
                                               and boats touched the odd bit of gravel or sand,
                                                         some did a circle or two...


                          but ... everybody came home with the same numbers they left with ....

                                                 and  they were all still smiling

                                                   so that's a pretty good day....
