Dear Blog
The last cheap report!! Well what a fantastic
start. A band palying as we left the harbour, cheers from well wishers on the
pier end, then outside to a nasty chop and motoring around trying to find the
line. At last the bou was laid and then the racing boat start - fire hoses
playing the background from the port tugs!
 Then our start - in the top 25 boats - enging off 5
secs to go! Up code 0 and starting to gain on some of the good starters just
with genoas.
 Soon we were about 10th of the 200 odd
cruisers
