Today's gentle Northwest breeze at The Bus Stop made for a great afternoon sailing experience .
Upon arrival, eight skippers gathered, each with a different wealth of experience and ideas to share about their individual boats.
Today's racing was quite exciting with John 201 demonstrating impressive passing skills and secured a series of wins .
Meanwhile, Harry 555 also managed to claim some spots on the podium, achieving multiple third places and the occasional second place.
It's great to see some of the new members achieving personal bests. The more experienced ones are also lending a helping hand, making it a win-win situation all round .
There was some afternoon entertainment by people from the TCC , launching a large tender they have acquired for their work on Lakes in the district .
It appeared to be more of a safety drill and managed to keep out of our race course .
RTW John 201 drew first blood in the, 3 -race series , but Nigel 168 soon asserted his dominance taking out the next two wins .
Rob 501, meanwhile was left to rue his misfortune in the last race of the day, by choosing to go clockwise while 168 went anticlockwise which cost him dearly at the finish line. A win to Nigel 168
The sun vanished at about 3 pm, and the temperature plummeted , leading to an earlier-than-usual wrap-up . Despite the sudden change, everyone had a great time .
