Another Saturday, another afternoon on the water...


Conditions were pleasant, the sky was blue, or at least through my filter it was....lol....
 Restless was back out on the water after a long sojourn as a land lubber,.......... we had a few back packers on board for crew...........and there were a few new faces on board other boats.... everyone was out for  a win ....   or just for the excitement of it all...


                       Let's just acknowledge that Restless is going to be the star of this show....
                                                  

                                   oh, okay .. here's Loco with not quite the smallest person on the bow..



                                                           Immigrant and i think Adrien in the laser!



                                 getting ready for a start..........and getting the lures out..Roger?



                                          Steve Berry ... correct me if i'm wrong somebody!



                      Our two resident back packers ... Taka from Japan and Kristina from Denmark




                     Immigrant had a really experienced Foredecky.. who had better watch out -

                                      if you're too good they never promote you to the cockpit!



it appears Jeanine had already had enough and was preparing to jump!



                        Beautiful blue skies and really even the industry  is looking good!




      ........     the start included some yelling ... watch your back Anna and Sophie!




                  Solitaire was looking highly professional for this shot ..... but only after a lot of .............




                                                                              THIS


                                                                                   

                                      .......... and  this ............



then there was a lovely teal green yacht ..........



which probably should go in the paper...............



                           oh.... okay and then another nice boat.............

                                             
                                     Loco was under us before i knew it!

                                                   

 .....................but they soon saw the error of their ways ..........and got the hell out of there !

                                                                        

                              Martin was in awe of the BOOM CRASH .. boom crash every time we did a gybe
                  


we had prime position ( yes in front) at the first mark...


                                            and again......


                               
                                                Anna and Sophie had fun.............sort of..........
                                                         


the Mumms set perfect kites.... should keep THOSE foredeckys ........

                             .....................then some went back for a cool drink...............



                                          While others had to look after their catch of the day.....

                                                ...........not often a mackerel jumps aboard ......
     

                                                                                 .
