It’s such a shame about the bad luck timing because today is bloody great - warm light breeze and sunshine (no rain so far)!

Didn't go for the Bic? Given the state of the roads, I'd shelter in place on your boat in the BoI for the next month or so at the least...

Yes unfortunately his club only uses Optis as starter boats. Then P class and Starlings. No O’pen Bics at Murray’s Bay.

View AttachmentView AttachmentYeah we had a great sail back to Whangarei under gennaker , saw you tucked under the cliff on party night and sneaking into Russell on the last day of racing . version of POB event I heard from crew of boat that helped search was she was gone for 10 mins before they realised she wasn’t onboard . They didn’t find her until 45 mins after she went over , she didn’t have a life jacket on ….it’s still very uncool to wear a PFD when racing .

Unbelievable she was missing unnoticed for so long 😳 In other news my sail south has been far from standard. A very late start (dep. Opua marina at 9am / Cape Brett at 11.30) and turn south towards Kawau. The only bit of the forecast that has been right so far is big swells (3m) but I’ve had annoyingly light winds and strangely blue skies all day. Meanwhile, friends ashore tell me it’s all kicking off again with NZ weather Armageddon round 2. I might stay out instead of rushing home after all.
