David was there right behind Wayne. A good day with good company
Anouther nice day with 10 knot breeze, It was nice to see Peter back sailing again. After Ken winning the first 2 races and David and Ken McKernan getting tied up, we took a break and helped Peter get his boat rigged up better. It only took him 1 race to get the felling of his new rig taking 2nd place in 2 races and a 1st in the 7th. Peter had electrical issues in the last race. Wayne was very consistant all day with his new Yellow boat and not having problems seeing his position during the races. Well done Wayne

We sailed the short course leaving the zoo end out and it worked well, The breeze was up and the gusts were a challenge but we got 8 races in . David was sailing very well only missing top spot by a point
