Another pleasant evening with a light SW wind of\nabout 8 mph. Ellen set the first mark as A (somewhere near Tektona – at a guess\n\u2013 can\u2019t see that far!) then 9, 3, 2, 5, 7 and back through the start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It was another good turn out with 18 starters and\nDave & Ann (Leader) were first back across the line with Mark (Laser) in 2nd<\/sup>\nplace some 30 seconds behind them. Will (Radial) was going well in 3rd<\/sup>\nplace but the following boats were all close to one another with Nigel L\n(Laser) leading the procession of Dean & Nick (Vago), Curtis (Laser), Jon\n(Laser), Paul H (Laser), Joe (Radial) and Chris H (Comet) without any room to\nswing a seal between them (sounds a bit more nautical than a cat!). Then there\nwas a huge gap (for tonight) of one minute before Chris A crossed in his Solo, aptly\nnamed as he was nearly two minutes ahead of next man Mike T (Laser), who in turn\nwas 20 seconds ahead of Rhys (4.7) and Ron (Mirror), then the girls at the back\nwere even more spaced out with Jemima (Oppie) ahead of Emily (Topper) , Phoebe\n(Oppie) and then Levi (Oppie). <\/p>\n\n\n\n Second lap and no change in the 1,2,3, but Dean\n& Nick moved up to 4th<\/sup> with Jon up to 5th<\/sup>, Chris H up\nto 7th <\/sup>and Chris A up to 8th. Further back Ron passed Rhys. Emily received\nthe gun at the end of this lap and Phoebe and Levi had decided to come in for\nrefreshments earlier on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The third lap was the last and Mark B had found the\nbooster button and pulled out a lead of nearly two minutes on Dave & Ann,\nand Dean & Nick gained another place to finish 3rd<\/sup>. Further back\nChris H gained two places to 5th<\/sup> and Chris A, Paul H, Rhys, Ron and\nJemima all gained a place due to the retirement of Curtis. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The final order on the water was \u2013 1st<\/sup> Mark; 2nd<\/sup> Dave & Ann;\n3rd<\/sup> Dean & Nick; 4th<\/sup> Will; 5th<\/sup> Chris H; 6th<\/sup>\nNigel L<\/p>\n\n\n\n On corrected time this becomes \u2013 1st<\/sup> Jemima; 2nd<\/sup> Dave & Ann; 3rd<\/sup> Chris H; 4th<\/sup> Mark; 5th<\/sup> Ron; 6th<\/sup> Will<\/p>\n\n\n\n Thanks to Ellen and the OOD Team of Ken, Ralph, Sally and Sam <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Another pleasant evening with a light SW wind of about 8 mph.
