| Like many of us, Peter
(l) and Alex Rahn were ... ... |
 |
| ... not all that
unhappy at the prospect of a relaxing day. ... |
 |
| Kit and David look for
wind patterns. ... |
 |
| Dave Platt enjoys a
little puff while Lou Scaglione perches on the windward side. ... |
 |
| Doug Netherton (red
shirt) gives Roger the Dodger a taste of the excitement of helming. Note also, the Ted Gadd rudder blade still virtually horizontal. ... |
 |
| Wow! Almost enough
breeze to let John and Dolores heave to in Silverfox. ... |
 |
| Domino ghosts
along with Justin Denny (l) and Mike O'Malley. ... |
 |

race will be a windward-leeward, Graham and Robin Barker test the day's
reaching limits while Mike O'Malley does the same for port tack
close-hauled. ... |
 |
| Another of our
photography boats: Alan Hallwood (middle) with his son,
Stephen, and grandson in the bow. ... |
 |
| Ian and Kevan have
just informed the RC that they will not be sailing this race. Kevan has
an overseas flight to catch later today to a crewing job in the UK. He
will, alas, miss the Banquet and Awards but will also miss his chance
to help re-pack the containers. Poor lad!! ... |
 |
| Roger and Joanne
(7700) check out wind and weather developments as ... ... |
 |
| ... the RC shows signs
that they're about to start our final race of the series. |
