Not such a lovely day weatherwise, but as far as the sailing and the company were concerned, a fabulous day for socialising and sailing between showers, and when it was raining, for cups of tea and coffee, and a delicious lunch prepared by Helen and Lyn.

Peter turned up to finish working on the horn for Charlie’s Chariot, and a little later Alice to take photos, and Tony to be a great helper.

Mal was a fantastic Boat Operations Manager, David W took out the Support Boat with observer Rowell, David G became Pontoon Manager and we were on our way until stopped by a sudden Photo of David W and Craig in Vinshower, which brought all the boats back, while we declared a break for morning tea. When the sky cleared partially, out we went again, with aPhoto of David G and Vanessa in Alex change of Support Boat Driver to Ray, photographer, Alice and observer Amir. Sailors at this time were Ivan, Ewan, Jack and David G, giving a fabulous run across the bay to Reef Beach.
