Excellent days sailing in brilliant sunshine and
fantastic winds topping F6 at times.
We spent most of the day chasing Ben More - but
they pipped us to the post by no more than a minute. We think we finished about
8th across the line but await the figures adjusted for engine and handicap (we
were only on engine for 2hrs at the beginning of the day).
Some excellent downwind sailing saw us average 6.8
knots throughout the day (79miles)
We had 10.3 knots on the final approach
- to say the skipper was concentrating would be a massive
understatement.
I suspect we will have a quite night tonight
as we are all fairly tired from the day
Editors footnote: - I need higher factor suntan
lotion and so does Tony! The other two are going i nice bronzon
colour -but arnt being smug about
it.
