Leander 1999 Day 3 - 27 Feb 1999

Well, what can one say. Awaking all too early with not enough sleep, the day dawns windy and wet. After breakfast, we journey down to the yacht club to suss out the days’ happenings. Finally, the RO decides to call the days’ racing off. Thank god for race five yesterday.

However, a few hardy souls decided to brave the conditions for the Stable Handcrafts Supercup series. Six exciting short course races were held, eventually won in fine form by the Mac brothers (Paul and Steve) on Design Source, with Seven Hogg on StageCoach in second. After that excitement, the Buster, Stealth and Acid Rock boys decided enough was enough and decided to Go-Kart and Send It (as the twelve foot boys would put it). No winner was found, but fun was had by all. Nothing else to do, getting drunk was first priority, and many did a great job of this. At the yacht club, a band kept the place rocking till late, then the eventual progression to the Wellington central city occurred en masse. This sampling of the local nightlife was enjoyed (apparently by some more than others). A night to remember (or forget).
