It was one of those evenings when even the seasoned sailors couldn�t work out the wind direction. It started SW and ended NE. The OD went for a diamond course A-B-5-4 in an area where the wind had filled in � to a degree.
Again there was a super turnout of 21 boats. From the heavily starboard biased startline John & Jenny in the L2000 got away first but, rounding the windward mark it was the GPs to the fore with Mike & Eric battling out front with Val & Ken. But, by the end of the crawl to B, the single handers had taken up the running.
Then it became a lottery and, as the vespers filed in from the North, Neil took the initiative in his Laser. With wind astern the slower boats benefitted first and Matthew�s Feva, Andy�s Mirror and Cameron�s Oppy all appeared to move up.
The OD wisely went for a single lap race. Neil was first over the line followed by marathon-man Reekie in the Solo and Dave & Lynn in the GP. Don�t ask me who followed? It was a boat a second � and I was shouting the times!
Kayla was on food duty and all were ready and waiting for her offerings.
