well the wind was almost nothing but occasional puffs. Alan said it was most likely because we were sheltered , the race was delayed until 1130, we launched at our normal time and apart from the paddle out to the old pier we had a great blast. Gary took some pics with his iphone when we were well out to sea, we practised the course however when we got to each mark they were just moving it lol. after 2 laps we headed to the committee boat and prepared for the start, i messed the watch timing up slightly and this did mar our start.
Cemm Groome and Miller was the order ahead and Pete and patrick D15 behind, patrick was the fly in the ointment and hampered us in an effort to escape. we had moments of glory leaving him in our wake until the 4th lap when everything seemed to alter in his and Pete's favor. we fell behind and Pete overtook, why we don't know, i think the wind had altered and we just didn't notice in time.
never mind, Gary was disappointed and so was i that Pete had beat us. never mind there is always next week !!
