Fairway Buoy Race

             
                            Another Saturday, another yacht race,...


       with perfect conditions for a speedy outward reach to the Fairway
                         and a swift spinnaker return up the harbour ..

the stayers and the players were on the start line.. evan briefly for some..

The birthday boy had a new toy.

T

                           the crew of Miss Behaviour were up to tricks

 

Sonofabeach was ready to play

                              There was a fight for the helm on the Doc

 

Others had work to do...

                                          .... or other places to sail..

                                                           

                             Max and Barry had the 'officials' launch covered
                                                        

                                   Yachts jostled for the start as always

 

 

                                    It was just as well this crew ..

                                    went out early and had a 'shake down ' sail..

 

because it was a "hello" and "goodbye" from them right after the start..

 

 

 the multi hull fleet and a mono displayed their assets

 

                           Two Wright was showing off its chines.

Ray needed some time alone ..

                                        so he took the solo challenge..

                           Doctor's Orders had gone troppo..

                       The new kids on the block  were smiling.. Haha..
                          
                        ..........first Fairway Buoy race obviously!

                            away they went .. while we motored behind for a while

                                              

 

                  

 

Intrigue had the new Go Pro on board ..

 

looks like we may have a new addition to the weekly blog ..

 

 

Lady Skippers Day 2013

                                   It was Lady Skippers Day

 

That Day we all look forward to..

when women of the Port Curtis Sailing Club
not only grace our yachts with beauty,
good humour,
with sound advice ,
and a careful lookout

but take command

 

grasp the helm,

cast the lines ,

stock enough Champagne to get us through,

and take our men to the great adventure of

Women on Water

Now according to Tony ( Observer Friday 23rd August)

"A woman should be on the helm at all times"

 

Evan if sometimes it feels like bondage!!

 

On No Problem , ever ,

 

we were shown the ropes early ...

 

I delegated the skipper job out to Maria

 

and Maree

 

 

Rag Top had Lynne calling the paces

On Miss Behaviour they were still baptising the team

the crew were looking relaxed

and worry free

 

Up and down round and round , the kites were a pretty site

 

Claire had the commanding position

She wasn't afraid to chase us down..

she didn't scare Maria ...


come get us !!!

 

 Maryke wasn't far behind

while the three wise guys

kept their counsel..

Dave was happy to take a womans advice

but Michello

was not quite so sure

 

 

 

all over for another year
