We had 12 starters today, but I wonder where all the others were today. They say we have entered Autumn, but today was still summer as far as I could see.

The westerly breeze was good when it was there, but a lot of us discovered some very big holes. We had a sizable chop to deal with too. we were all in it together, so the best approach was to ease off a little bit and power on through. Some frustration showed at the top mark, but we all had to sail it.

Nigel 168 set a good course that tested all points of sailing. I saw a lot of sail adjustments happening so I hope they made a difference. Sometimes a bit of serious concentration can help as well. 

A great day on the water with many winners. Enjoy the photos.
