Well another Port Geographe Bay Race Week has come and gone, what a week of competition and teamwork.

TWU has continued to surprise us on her all round ability from playing out in the ocean with the big boys to around the cans with the performance river racers, is there nothing this girl cannot do?

Hats off to Liesl, Crews Control, By & Large and Archimedes who were not going to let us walk away with the trophies without a good battle on the water their positive sailing attitudes both on and off the water were a credit to them.

It was hard to imagine the week being any better with the format of racing chosen, some would say like ourselves more passage racing and less short courses but overall the thumbs go up.

Next year should see us campaigning Charlotte in the Port Geographe Bay Race Week with our adventures on TWU rapidly drawing to a close. Just the Avalon Sail Co Halls Head and Point Robert Return Ocean Races to go next week.

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.
