autumn 2 06 09 09


well after a few weeks away mutley was treated to a day out by the seaside.
spud and john john joined in and a good time was had by all.
wind was light to start with and gradually built up. hovering on the start i was too keen to get going and as i went past the committee boat my watch didnt tally with the committe's over i went and i heard the cry from patrick, "spud your over" my imediate reaction was oh well that hasnt happened many times before so i promptly swung mutley around and went around the ends
funny thing was i rounded the mark in 3rd place behind BIG THING and henry
this race a pure shakedown race to get back sailing on mutley. it all went very well and we both enjoyed the race. with no mistakes from either of us well apart from me almost forgetting mark 3
we were rounding roughly in 12.5 mins. henry caught us on the last lap so it showed we were out of pratice. We didnt finnish last as greg was having problems with his tramp.
