No offshore racing so we went out for a Club Race at Mandurah with a bit of a different crew, with Adam on Bow and then Adrian making a Guest Appearance as Drinktician. The event was a Handicap Start where we were the scratch boat giving Without Fear 2 minutes, Fairy Tern 6 Minutes, Bird on a Wire 7 Minutes, and the rest had done a few legs by the time we started. We had a great start, great boat speed and got on the right side of a few shifts (without bugs). First Kite leg had us overtaking fear and chasing the next bunch all with a bear in hand. We continued chasing hard and by the end of the first sausage we had the lead (Yes this was just over half way through the race). We continued drinking, having a good time and ended up Taking Line Honours by 9 Minutes over Withour Fear, and a Handicap Win by nearly 7 minutes. The day ended fantastically when we had a couple of dolphins following us and playing with the bow the whole last leg across the finish line.
NAv - not to mention we managed to demolished a carton of beer with very little effort!
