finally after 3 weeks of being unwell, the weather calmed down a bit and we were faced with an easterly about 12knts++ Gary was ready for the off but i was apprehensive with the waves on the beach, after watching Phil and roger come to grief on the pier i thought our launch had better be good.
we were last cat away and thank goodness we were ok, apart from Gary not getting on the boat lol, i managed to haul him aboard and everything else went ok.
we got to the start and a few reaches later we were off, a little behind the line but not too bad.
cemm, Greg and Mark dooley were all ahead with phil trying to snap at our heals as well. Pete was somewhere in the mix but eventually we were 4th in line. thats how it stayed. we almost got Mark D but not quite. the race finished after 40 mins for us ??
pleased overall how we both did and how we came into land as well.
easterlies are not my favourites but today i think it was ok
