WHAT A FEW DAYS!
The marina is full to bursting with the weather not
proving to be offering the balmy breezes of last year. Most boats are
arriving wind-blown and drenched and choosing to remain in the marina - this
means that some boats are now having to fit three to a berth! This really
applies to the smaller later ones, who have all had a tough time anyway. We survived the toughest of the 24 hour period - what
a marathon! The weather was atrocious and we saw nearly 40 boats safely
across the finish line, sometimes running as many as six boats calling in from
various distances and "interesting" accents. The bay was also
crowded with cruisers and two tall ships, so these guys had to try and pick out
our lights from the spread of the bay, plus these guys! Well done all, I
say! The tall (and small)
ships
Finish line boats PT oL and Waylander enjoy off-duty time!
