Thursday with light breezes

We had Mel, Mark, Norm, Pete and I so a not a bad crew.
The new front hatch cover had been fitted now we don't have to worry about standing on the cardboard substitute. This was a nag in the back of your mind when leaping about the small fore deck.
Again the light weight No. 1 and the Big yellow spinnaker.
With Mel on the helm we had a mid fleet start, let try that again as it sounded too negative. Out of 3 boats we were second over the line. Chasing Fred on Idis to the windward mark we adjusted the blocks to get a better shape to the Genoa. On the spinnaker leg we started to catch Fred until a miscommunication when I started the 2 pole jibe early. But this time we didn't loose control of the Genoa sheet, it has a passion for wrapping itself round the dropped spinnaker pole.
The wind was dropping so they shortened the coarse after one round.
On returning we left the mooring early to par take of the RNLI BBQ. A pint of Palmer's Copper and a Crew Berger and a chat.
Life is good.
