Last Pirates Sept 4th.<\/span><\/u><\/strong><\/div>\n
<\/u><\/strong> <\/span><\/div>\n
The last Pirates of the year saw some 26 youngsters on the water with little wind. After the safety briefing, the boats launched in pairs, aided by the parents, and proceeded under Gary’s guidance to ‘hunt for treasure!’<\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n
They made a ‘raft’, did a lot of capsizing and had a lot of fun as ever!! The stunning sunset was a perfect back drop for the boats – see Face Book for pictures.<\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n
<\/strong> <\/span><\/div>\n
Everyone enjoyed hot chocolate amid the thanks and cheers for Gary and Monica – bottles of wine were gratefully received and vouchers for Haweli. A great end to another fantastic season of Pirates.<\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n

Pink Fleet Sat 13th Sept.<\/span><\/u><\/strong><\/div>\n
<\/u><\/strong> <\/span><\/div>\n
The day dawned grey but that did not deter 20 boats from rigging and taking to the water. After a hearty breakfast and a briefing in the clubhouse, a motley selection of boats with youngsters and oldies, sailed down the lake for a Tektona start.<\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n
Amy and Tracey, closely followed by Richard and Alice were right on the line at the start. Alice, despite doing some penalties or not…??one the race by mile, but was disqualified of course!!<\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n
It was good to see Lily in an Oppie, Alistair and Laura in their Laser, Sally going well in Newton’s Laser and lots of youngsters in Toppers, including William and Patrick having so much fun in the water, instead of on it!!<\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n
The ladies made a great showing – by way of an excuse for being behind them, Richard was heard to say …… “he would rather not have a lot of ladies looking at him…!!”<\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n
There was a bit of crowding, bumping and shouting at 8…..but a very high standard of sailing overall.<\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n
The Pink Fleet cup went to Steve for sailing his First ever race….well done Steve, who had to settle with a kiss from Monica in lieu of the cup which had not been returned…. I wonder who that was…???<\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n
Thanks were given to James, Pat, Brian and Monica for manning the safety boats.<\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n
