Monday Fair

We all met at the club, for once Mark was there early. He had taken half a day off.
Sunny blowing 22 gusting 26. No Linda but new bloke Kurt joined us.
Norman had found yet another small sail and we rigged a No. 3 as it was gusty, the High Aspect was in the sail shop and it was Lady's race so Mel was on the tiller.
Off went the Squibs and it was an all in start for the "Laydees" 10 minutes later. About 17 boats churning about for the start with less experienced helms, interesting.
We beat to the windward mark, launched the spinnaker then changed the under powered head sail for the old 2001 No. 1. Yes this boat has more sails than crew. And more No. 1s that is right.
The wind was dropping but they didn't shorten the coarse so eventually we ran out of time which was a shame as we were catching some of the fast boats.
Firefly people all over the club with a pig race in the long shed ! There is a buzz about the club for the regatta that starts Friday. Tanja and I are going to the Caribbean party Saturday night ! !
