The colourful Impulse fleet headed out to a day of variable winds
and only 8 knots of breeze for a slower day on the water
Everyone seemed a little tired,
the start was clear ...
Alex and Len were on the job...
Michael was trying stand -up sailing
as were a few others ..
all was smooth sailing for Ben
though this was a cheeky manoeuvre ...
through the middle ...
and out the other side ...
and into the line up for the buoy rounding..
progress was slower,
all knew their place ..
inching past
Bob was back with his mast up right!
the start boat was bobbling up and down
it's crew of hard working officials
James and his team , putting in the hours to ensure a great regatta...
Spur of the Moment was back again..
concentration as David approaches the mark..
more of the stand up sailing ...
604 was the surprise of the day ..
stern views were nice and sharp..
Pixie Dust was gathering them in..
there were some discussions mid course
nothing too hard for this lad..
Keith was looking fine
Bows ...
spray,
side riders..
big smiles...
action shots
smooth sailing
more relaxed looks
girls in pink ..
a fleet of many colours on the lakes
finally time to go home and prepare for a New Year
and it was off to the sailing club for a Happy New Year
and a few fireworks
