Hi Everyone, it's definitely official winter is here and the present winds are just adding to the lower temperature, so tell me why the Juniors on Sunday still wanted to jump in the water ? Alright it wasn't as cold as the last couple of days but the water definitely was, right fellow Instructors.
8.30am Sunday Juniors
With the Marathon on out on the main road early, we didn't expect much of a crowd, but despite that we still managed around 10 keen sailors including a few newbies. The wind was light and variable, in other words nearly non existent, and of course the tide was on the way out so there was a lot of drifting south and being towed or walking back to the club. I think Mary and Ava drifted the furthest and ended up on the beach down near the canal then the safety boat slowly towed them back. Towards the end the wind completely died but at least the sun was shining.
10.30am Sunday Juniors
We held off a bit starting because there was simply no wind but everyone was keen to get out so finally we sent everyone out and they even occasionally managed to sail . The two Lasers with Shaun and Brendan with some coaching managed to keep moving up near the club, but for people like Caleb, Hado and Cody who drifted out into the channel it was off south for them as the current was just getting stronger . The good part was we had fun towing people and I suspect Charlie's arms were a bit sore on Monday after hanging on to the tow rope each time .
Additional Notes
Racing is back on Sunday so lets hope we have some wind as I am sure everyone cant wait to get back out there .
We will also be looking for a few volunteers to work our Bunnings Barbeque on the last weekend of July, so if you can spare a couple of hours just let us know at the club. These are always good events for us in both having a laugh while raising funds for our always needed safety gear .
Opps almost forgot who was the only skipper to run aground last Saturday in the Sydney 32 ? I will give you a hint he starts the races and no it wasn't me !
