early morning sail and Summer 4 2014

again  a early start for the drive down and out on the water just after 8am.
paddled out to the old pier and then it was nice beats and reaches up and down for 1h 30mins
the sun  was shinning and so relaxing.   1h30mins over 7miles sailing
returned to shore to see if I had a crew turn up but no one !!
















wind was very light and the course very small I went on port to find when I tacked I ended up going back over the line. I was lapped before I made the first mark.
from then on the wind filled in a bit. PETE was solo as well, but had a better start, I had one incident with gary burglass after he tacked right on top of me, how I didn't hit him I don't know. I called penalty and he muttered words you didn't shout ???  I said I didn't have to  do your 360. he didn't do it
so I told the committee boat just incase and they said protest.  greg forwarded it on to gary who then finally did his turn.  then it was a case of watch my back as he was chasing hard.
he did eventually get me  but I was only on my mainsail and solo.
total time 1hr and a bit no idea miles as no gps.
