What a brilliant weekends sailing. Congratulations to Paul and Peter who are showing some blistering pace, also first timers Frodo and Merry aka. Steve and Robin and Tom and various crews in Cheese.
For all those who couldn't make it, the weather was around 15knots on Saturday with several crews taking a dip in the Thames estury. Cool Beans took 3 bullets hotly pursued by Eleanor, A&E, and Atum.
Clive then fell on Alex which resulted in a retirement. So day one ended with Cool Beans leading followed by Eleanor then Atum.
Today was bright and sunny with slightly less breeze for race 1, Paul continued where he left off leaving Eleanor and Atum fighting out for 2nd. Eleanor managed to get a bit of a lead only to throw it away by swimming on the gybe. Race 2 saw the wind dropping off and Paul sailed into a hole in the wind to let Eleanor through for a win, and race 3 saw some confusion on the part of the race team with a shortened course causing Paul who was leading to think he'd finnished, which once again allowed Eleanor though for the bullet. Thanks Paul for being so gracious about it we know you beat us really.
The top 3 ended up as Cool Beans 1st Eleanor 2nd and Atum 3rd.
