| Tell
Tales 4th March 2006
The weather for the day warm to sunny and hot,
not much good for sailing. The course was set in a
very light sse breeze of 5 knots which slowly strengthened
as the race evolved.
Yachties have to put a with a lot of different conditions
and Saturday was an unusual one with a fog rolling
in off the sea and covering the whole course. It was
something different for everybody. Slowly the fog
lifted, the wind got up and our fleet completed a
good race.
Pete Depps and crew with his baby on board, along
with the other keel boats sailed credible races especially
when Tumble weed and Interlude pulled up their spinnakers.
It was a very impressive sight .
In the pink, and Windswept had a battle on all day
with Windswept taking the honors at the end of the
day .
As per usual Matt and Gary were out in front, the
absence of Peter Geekie leaving them very lonely.
I must make mention of Hell and High Water. Peter
is there most weeks with Ella, and believe me they
are improving as each week goes by. Keep up the good
work.
Thank you to those who turned up for the clean up
OZ day and to Gary McPike for the breaky.
Also to our sponsors, Beachfront Motel, Mobil service
station ,Ocean Road Hotel, Apollo Bay Hotel, J &
C Marriner Earthmoving.
