Fairway Buoy Race and that's a wrap for the season!



             
                           I think everyone is just a bit "over it", with only  a handful of yachts and crew heading for the Fairway Buoy Race.. and not all of us were keen at first!

                                On No Problem it was hard to figure out whether we had started or not!

                                               Tuan and Intriigue were pacing around waiting for us...


                                    

                                Everybody else was 'LATE' .. or maybe WE were late .. or early..

                                                                    

                                                           Colleen was out on Intriigue


                            

                                                               Ray had the girls ...

                                         Tuan were looking for the G&T supply ship

 
 
Muriel and Carli did the ropes


                                     There were a few ship movements to keep us interested


                           



                                         Maria had a lesson in the responsibilities of the helm...

 
We came prepared for any weather!

                                               there was the occasional Crew challenge !

 
 
 
The skipper had no complaints.. or else!

We tried a bit of rum bargaining ...
 
 
 
but to no avail...
 
  

                                    The gas ship was heading for the big light in the sky





                                          The day was done by the time we headed in..


... and that's a season wrap..
 
 
 
 
Trophy night is next Saturday night, please RSVP to the office and come along ..

Thanks Lynne Campbell for the photo from the deck of Tuan!
