In spite of the rainy day, thinking it would clear by mid-morning, we decided to go ahead with our sailing program.
Sailing Coordinator David, with Barry, Ralph, Ray, Eli and Judy arrived early to put the gear out. Ralph went over to pick up Charlie’s Chariot, all in dry weather. By the time the rest of the team had gathered, and all the boats were in the water, the rain was coming down heavily. In spite of this, we still managed to get some people out for a sail, Ray, Steve, Ivan, Maddie, James, Konrad, then reluctantly decided that sailing was not going to happen today. That did not mean that the cups of tea and coffee did not flow, or that the sausage sizzle was abandoned.
There was quite a social gathering up on deck, with students Ida, Maddie, Sarah, James, Tina, Hayden, Yeaseul, Michael, from ICSM, who were there to provide food and sailing support, as well as Alice, the world’s best registrar, Tony, Alan, Roger, Denis, John, Philip, Jannie and Patrick. All of these helped to put everything away so, all in all it was a good practise morning.
