Better than last week…but only marginally. �Eleven boats crossed the line and headed for A. �But it was painfully slow. �Val & Ken turned around and paddled back to the livestock as John�s Solo had taken an initial lead and wasn�t going to be caught.
The wind filled in from the west but it didn�t reach across the Lake and the drift to B was painful. �Stephen, who was race officer, decided to take a trip in the RiB with Chez and finish all at B. �So, following John, it was Richard Hughes in his colourful Laser after a superb light weather sail. Jon Anson�s Laser was next.
Did anyone want a tow back? �No. �The wind filled in enough to allow all to make it home for the meal! �What meal? �The chefs didn�t turn in for the first time this season. �A disappointing end in several ways to a mammoth series.
