Saturday 9th April. Naval Point. R-Class & 3.7, 10.30 – 5pm!

At 10.30 we arrived in Lyttelton thinking that it would be all over by lunch time. No Way, we couldn’t get them off the water; to make matters worse they kept sailing way out into the distance, well out of reach the little blighters! Thanks to Kevin Holland, John Kennett and Trevor George for being so understanding, for shivering for six hours in the cold as they watched their boats disappear yet again, and for forfeiting their own afternoon race so our bunch of eight could continue to “hang out”.

Suitably impressed with your skill level and keenness were Paul & Paul from the R-class. We were impressed with their patience and tolerance as they had to stay out until everyone had a turn. Bet they didn’t realize it was going to be 5pm! Subwoofer and Bully Hayes were in hot demand as the slipway was churned up with the next exuberant sailor racing to clamber aboard for a thrill.

Thanks Kevin, John, Trevor, Paul, and Paul for giving up your day.

( It was only going to be a morning!)

What are we doing next weekend?
