Colour, Colour, Colour
Sunshine, blue water, blue sky, a few new sailors and a couple of interesting new boats, all makes for an action packed afternoon sailing, and an excited buzz in the air.
Welcome to Benjamin Rankine, who is new to Gladstone brings an exciting new toy for him to sail and me to photograph!
Matthew was ready with the Bic this week.. a young man of many talents , having sailed a corsair and a pacer as well over the first weeks of the season.. perhaps there should be a trophy for the most classes of dinghy sailed over a season?
then again..... David Mann might win for the most classes of boats owned in a season...
Blaney Redgrave (we know her as Blaney Ware) is back to sail a new Bic
Miss Behaviour is back form a foray to Magnetic Island Race Week..
Dirk is back from visiting the family in Europe ..
and appears to have survived the family holiday...
The crews were ready....
skippers in charge...
Rob had the Doc aboard for any emergencies
The scene was idyllic from Spinnaker Park
with every girl ...and her dog come to watch...
Noah .......the old sea dog...
Scott was a bit lonely out there ...
David was on rescue boat duty and probably checking out Scots rig tension
Blaney was looking relaxed and comfortable..
the big boats joined in the fray.........Intriigue
Sonofabeach..

Miss Behaviour
John and crew were giving Restless a run..
Solitaire was pushing the envelope with a port start... both times...
Martin , Tierney and Will, had the pacer fleet wrapped up...
and a new Moth came out to play....
Lynne and Debbie took work seriously in the Red Rib
Dinghies jostled at the start..
Benjamin Rankine ..that Moth looks fun...
Scott in racing mode...
Maria was there to keep Scott in check...

There were racing starts....
