Not such a good day

Yesterday was bit disappointing with a 4 a 3 and a 3. Gear breakage put paid to our good start in the third race when the jib car track pulled off the deck. Dayna did a fabulous job of lashing it down but we lost time and our second placing. Unfortunately in spite of the suggestion at the skipper's meeting that redress might be available for gear failure the fact that there was no mention of it in the race instructions meant our request to the jury was disallowed.

A predicted thunderstorm forced the cancellation of the final heat yesterday so until that is completed this moring - if it is, as the thunderstorm is happening now instead of yesterday - we don't know if we have made the finals.

But we have been getting to know some of the other teams. Those that weren't in Sydney for the Gay Games all say they want to come to visit. We have been encouraging them all to come for the ASCC Annual Regatta next year.
