Sunday the 16th saw us out again with the Balmain Sailing Club. And yes we love the tender service. The race started at 2pm and we were up with the first across the line. Well - in the middle actually but starting with 16 boats is sure different to the three we are used to with the ASCC. On board were Julie, Karina, Malcolm amd Lea, plus Anni on the helm.
The weather was gorgeous and the wind varied from about 5-6 knots to gusts of 16 knots. We manged to stay in front of one boat almost til the last rounding of a mark near Balls Head. The course took us round Goat, Cackatoo, Spectacle and Snapper Islands and back to Balls Head before rounding the islands again with the finish in front of the clubhouse.
No time for lunch so we have to work that one out for future races. We ended up last again but only minutes behind the next last boat this time. And on handicap we were about 12th I think. So we're improving!
And the bar was still open and the tender service still running when we finished so its all good!
