A great party at the Jeronimo team house, where I am pleased to say JD won the drinking games 3-0..easy!

 

Sailing conditions were perfect for the final day, a big sea still running from the previous gale and a steady 16 kts.  The race officer set a short windward leeward course.  A great start but we were pinned to the left hand side, shame as we were pushed over the lay line by 3 minutes.  A couple of quick downwind legs and the fleet finished within 3 minutes on corrected time!!!  Ahh.

 

A blast back to the marina and a change from racing to cruising before the prize giving, we were very pleased to win the first boat in class 0 with no professional crew, a great finish to a brilliant week.

 

JD is due to leave the marina tonight to get ahead of the next gale for the final leg of the Viking Cruise.
