After a stupendous effort by Paul to keep us focussed on the race in the light and at times non existant airs we ended up in the right place at the right time. We scored a third which has put us at the top of the ladder. Quote of the race awas from Paul..."Were doing well , we're still moving " when in fact the boat was doing a big circle on the spot! Handicap will go up so that a bit of breze next race will be welcome and hopefully we can fly the kite.
The Latitude race crew is Drummonds, Doves, Dick, Els, Mel and Jenny so no racing Saturday the 22nd. The boat will be out the heads , weather permitting.
The cruising group met last Friday to discuss a cruise in company in March. The dates decided upon were March 14th -28th and the destination was the Tamar ie across the paddock. Sadly we can only take 6 in all across Bass Strait. Once in the Tamar though we could add to the crew as flights to Launceston are quite cheap and I'm sure there must be local buses from Launceston to places like Beauty Point or George town. Another possibility is for someone to come over with a car on the ferry and drive from Devonport... 1 hour or less. Let me know if your interested. It will involve and overnight passage and watchkeeping etc and there is always the possibility that the departure delayed as we will not set off if there is any doubt about the weather. That is in either direction!
Fair weather Sue
