1st geograph race week 2009


Looks like tonight could be very messy! Yesterday we had a 1st and a third which pretty much said all we had to do today was start to take it out. We did better with what looks like a second over the line and another win on handicap. The stuff of legends. When one considers the other boats were stacked with rock stars flown in for the event to crew, this is awesome and were are somewhat happy with our performance.

Todays race started in a light breeze and we were able to use our white kite, come JT, come code zero and simply sailed away. Our two closest competitiors both with rock stars finished around 15 minutes behind us on a shortened course after refusing to gybe when we did. Now comfortably sat back at the accomodation we are drinking margiritas as a precurser to the presentation tonight.....I wonder what time we will leave tomorrow. Looking forward to our rock stars due in this evening to help with the delivery back to mandurah.

Meanwhile back on the road news is that Charlotte in in WA somewhere on the nullabour.
