Another Autumn day enjoyed at The Bus Stop.

Another smallish fleet of eight boats settled into some really good racing. The sun was shining and the breeze was up and from the North. Strangely, we had the same course as last week, perhaps that was because the wind has been from the same direction for the last couple of weeks?

Pat 39 was having a good day catching solid lifts and using tactics to stay at the top of the fleet. He had a few good tussles with the Banana 230 which was also going nicely. There is a sequence of photos that show a tacking duel to the finish.

The rest of us had the odd win or podium which was all part of the fun. The wind was quite strong at times and there were a few nose dives and spinouts that woke the respective skippers up. A great day at The Bus Stop.

RTW's were two to Pat 39 and one to Rob 501, The Leprechaun on St Patrick's Day.

Enjoy the photos.
