First day of racing - so we thought

FIRST DAY OF RACING- So we thought

Te boats in the bay waiting for stable wind



Well the day arrived but unfortunately the wind didn’t!  The sailors were at the boat park for registration and measurement.  The team had no problems with measurement as there wasn’t any!

Great selection of regatta goodies, including 2 hats and hoodie, I suspect that they will be difficult to swap!

The boat park



However the sun did come out and the supporters were in  T shirts and someone even suggested a swim! 

Tom continued his briefings and even more boat checking revealed cracked trapeze hooks so far we have not had any slot gasket problems due to lack of wind!

A little bit more exploring the marina and we found Richard Stanley’s Birthday present to his wife!



What a nice present

Tonight we are off to for a chinese and it will be early to bed as we need to be in the boat park by 8am ready for a 9.30 start.  We have been promised some wind in the morning!!!!!
