The light was tricky all afternoon, from glaring bright to dull and grey...
and the action on the water was a bit "same, same" as well...
so there may have been a little more 'tweaking and playing' this week
Mike and the team were raring to go ..
Scott was out with Maria and Ray
Intriigue played its part
against the dash and speed shown by Thylacine
Everyone was a minute late for the start... (Off court judges rule)
so the yachts headed off on their unrecorded journey down harbour
.. just a trio it was
then time for a dinghy start ..
Matthew and friend ..
now the skiff was a no show , but this looked like it could be interesting
in between dinghies ...
and a new player Adrian Rae, on the laser
and then we realised we knew this fellow ...
Which meant we didn't have to be polite .. we could stalk him for awhile
.. it wasn't all speed and action
there were spills too
and the effort to take it home ...
David and Colleen manned Herc
keeping an eye on the spills
and the families
Race 2 began
No.... That didn't really work Scott....back to the end of the line!
Ditched the passenger and raring to go...
Round and round ..
the sky darkened ...
the scene was industrial ..
but it mattered not!
We bought our own colour ..
and competition ...
back came the yachts ..
to play amongst us
spinnakers aloft,
blown the cobwebs away..
with the last of the light
victoriously...
time to head home ..
