Notes

We opted not to go in for this race as we couldn't work out how to do it.  The buoys seemed to be in a funny order, and included a mysterious B9 that as a lifeboatman worried me enormously ;-)

We listened to the radio and heard the confusion - the race instructions had the buoys in the wrong order, and B9 was imagined...

We watched the start line, with Dansa deciding to cross early and immediately disqualify himself:

We went out anyway to take some pictures and took Sarico's mooring.  We watched her go past, being sailed superbly single handed by Dave:

Later that evening, we had the annual cocktail competition in the clubhouse.

Lessons Learned
  • B9 actually does not exist...
