The rigging area looked busy, the sky a perfect blue
Yachts headed out, hoisting sails etc along the way
Alexa and Christopher became extras volunteers ...
Fleur de Lis and Doctor's Orders had a battle at the start
Tuan was lead boat on this tack
Super Freaky stayed clear of the fray
friendly mob!
John had the crew lined up
and then it was over to the dinghies
Josh did a quick turn around the start buoy again..
New members enjoyed the fray in a pacer
The chase was soon on
Morgan wouldn't miss a week .. and that outhaul was behaving better
Martin headed to Vanuatu before he realised he was on his own
Will was doing the math!
Benjamin was flitting everywhere in the Moth
and cutting a fine figure
and an occasional swim ..
it was slow and steady in the Impulse fleet
Josh was hot on the heels of David
the rest of the team were in amongst it
Ray and Martin had a rendezvous at the mark
We were taking pictures of people taking pictures...
Maria was hard working
Tim was flying ...
Will was in front of Tuan
We were concerned the
Tonic had run out...
the rescue boat hurried over...
but the storm clouds were building in the west
the finish came down to a nose...
it was declared "Time to go home"
we could see the storm approaching ...
so we left the yachts to come home wet and bedraggled,
while we watched the view from the bar!
Everyone .... back to the club this morning to witness the launch of
the Thorpe; restored by Barry Austen over a number of years.
we could see the storm approaching ...
