Saturday 24th Jan 2009 the crew of Mel, DIck, Dovie, Angela , KAte and the "Captains" set off for the start. What a start with 200 boats on the start line . We'd reefed down which did not work for us and we fell behind and downwind after an amazing start. It was lumpy and stomach challenging, especially down below and lunch was put on hold until we got there . Once we got into the Corio Channel it was on the beam and exhilarating and we arrived and rafted up to a row 5 boats deep. We immediately spied our dear "Jean" whose new owners had brought her round from Westernport. She looks great and is obviously being well cared for.
