Five elderly blokes enjoyed good sailing at The Bus Stop.

I arrived at the lake to find Nigel 168 contemplating his next move. Graeme 230 and Rob 501 arrived to see if anything was happening. So with a fleet of four, we sailed a few RTW's in the hope that the weather would hold up, and it did. Then Trevor No Number showed up and popped his boat in, now there were five.

Nigel 168 came up with a suitable course and we raced on for the afternoon. We had one shower that did not deter us. The wind was light, but generally steady so we had good racing.

At about 3:30 we decided it was RTW time as the weather turned cold and rain threatened. So Nigel 168 pulled his boat out, carried out serious tuning adjustments, thought deeply about the Sailing Tactic book, then beat us up in the final race, well done Nigel.

A few photos to enjoy, one for Pete Flowerday included.
