Who was out this weekend?.....

And me (Admittedly not very well)

Well lets start getting us non bbsc people in here then!!
Last sunday i had my second outing on the musto (i really do love this boat).  The morning went great, i lead the fleet round the course despite two capsizes, although on the very last leg for some reason people decided to catch me up......how rude! 
The afternoon did NOT go so well however, the gusts became far more aggressive and i had trouble (to say the least) handling the boat in them which ended up in me retiring from that race. 
But still, another sunday will dawn and im already raring to go again!

Originally posted by redback I might do a few circuit events, but let's face it there are people at Wilsonian I want to beat and the sailing there is varied and challenging.

No doubt you'll be gunning for the mason's then?  They certainly present a challenge to any 4000 sailor no matter how seasoned.  I'll try and bully mark into coming down for a weekend here and there with the 4000.  Assuming of course he actualy lets me back in the boat after my piss poor performance towards the end of last year. 

Starcross Steamer(screamer) what a blast

Strarcross website currently lists only 13 finishers - can that be right?

 

Only thirteen finishers logged as the safety boats were all so busy standing by and towing in boats that they couldnt run back down the fleet collecting numbers so only the first thirteen got official places. On that basis we were 14th along with about 30 other finishers. No Pierre we finished afloat we may have capsized lots and lots but we did finish. I was so knackered I struggled to pull the boat up the slip.... of course it could be my age. Great day out though.
