Grey skies, no wind makes for a dull championship



                                              It was good to see a few yachts on the pontoon,
                                                  ready for a long trudge up the harbour


the dinghies were ready 


                                    Spirit was heading out for another run around the harbour



                                          Doctors Orders  was flashing in red white and blue



                                                         the start was clean and trouble free

                                                   Doctors Orders took it away





                                                 Intriigue and Solitaire combined for the day


                                             SonOfABeach came home a lot faster than she started




                                       Georgina had them under control on super Freaky








    A few other interesting craft sailed by ...


                                      The dinghy races got under way




                                      The flare of colour from the North caught our eye


It was two by two to the mark


Will stood out ...




                                          Sheldon decided to relax and wait for the wind


                                            Steve kept an eye out ahead,, looking for a puff


                         .. some action from Peter  ... but that was the only angle we saw for the day !!!

                                         
                                     it was getting more and more like a Canadian winter ...


                                                  as the tugs headed off in military precision


                                                         around the mark they trooped







  No Further action forthcoming ...


                                                until Morgan thought she might need to paddle



                                                                Martin opted for a low profile


                                                                  Tim kept it all upright


Race Two abandoned .. Let's go home ...


                                                                              under tow !
       

                       The colour was all in the crew shirts today .. which is why we say "wear Red"
