We've been waiting for this day at The Bus Stop.

The day looked good during the morning. When I got to the lake it was even better, with a light SW breeze coming all the way down the lake. That breeze stayed with us all afternoon, increasing through mid afternoon then dropping away toward the end of our session.

14 boats lined up for some top racing on a good course set by Nigel 168. The dreaded No4 buoy had its nose high in the air just waiting to catch out an unsuspecting skipper, and it did. The SW gave excellent windward beats and some very quick reaches.

Winners from everywhere today with no one standing out from the fleet. Trevor, off handicap had the bit between his teeth and made the fleet work hard to catch him. 

RTW's were really tough to win today. We had three altogether and two were unidirectional which turned out to be very close finishes, a win to Rob 501 and Nigel 168  with Pat 139 taking out the conventional RTW.

What a fantastic days racing we had today and roll on the next one.
