The Twilight Race 5/09/2012

Most of the boats were displaying lights, some port and starboard and a few more elaborate. David Lomas had red Christmas lights all up the mast and Newton had a large flashing beacon at the top of the mast. Once it got dark, you could still see him right at the top of the lake.

Andy Jones did particularly well as he was not even on the water when the gun went!

We had a little rain during the race but just after all the boats were ashore it really came down and Karen and Simon who were cooking the sausages and burgers on the BBQ were both soaked – they managed to save the food though!!

It was a very enjoyable evening and after the race the club house was full of people tucking in the BBQ beautifully cooked by Karen and Simon despite the rain.

Sally presented Geesje with a rose tree in recognition of all her hard work over the summer providing food to hungry sailors on Wednesday evenings and the evening concluded with a “Happy Birthday” to Karen – we won’t say which year!
