George Law 20th Sept

The george Law Race was a bit of eye opener, apparently. Unfortunately I was a no show due to a clash with winter navigation activities. Huge swells off the back of rottnest made skippers quite wide eyed as even the bigger yachts were tossed around like rubber ducks in a bathtub.

Some narrative from the day:
"Well that’s the GEORGE LAW FOUNDATION RACE done and dusted and what a day to be racing!

I am sure everyone on board got their 20% fill at some stage during the days racing, was more a big boats race with the swell about on the day.

The X-factor managed to beat us over the line although, not too much we could do about it as they had much more rail meat then ourselves which seem to sit her nicely down.

Will need to check with the Naviguesser if Expedition has an altitude monitor as I am certain if we went any higher oxygen mast would have been dropping out of bulkheads. "

Nav to Crew: Yes it does, GPS also has altititude!

Winter Series presentation

We came, we conquered, and we pillaged the trophy cabinet. Today we received the rewards of racing in the winter series. We won the IRC and consistency trophies for Division 1 and then to our surprise we were also presented with the cup to the most outstanding yacht in the winter racing program on consistency across all divisions and classes of yachts. Well that raps up the winter racing program. ................meanwhile behind the scenes scheming is underway about the next race program....
