Windy Wednesday 2009, part 1?

Hon. Sec. Chris charges at the rudder of the Vice Commodore, did he get it?

Well, something happened, better have a look!  Gordon inspects the underside while Rose prepares for a soaking

She got one, Bob and Kate sail serenely by...

Robin to the left, Richard Blunt in the Solo and Bob and Kate survive another gust.

Bob commented afterwards that some of the gusts had to be F.8 !  Andy Paton in hot pursuit came 2nd in the race

Richard sitting on the transom, Solo blasting, he came third.

Our latest septogenerian, the ever young at heart Richard Easton with Jill, their first sail of the season

Bob and Kate won the pursuit race, when did an Enterprise last win the Wednesday pursuit race?

Robin returns to shore after the race, exhausted but happy, to quote the opening lines of the song by MK, "It's the end of a perfect day, for all surfer boys and girls, the sun's dropping down the bay and falling off the world"

Thanks to Stuart Howe for the photo's.  Let's hope for another Windy Wednesday during 2009 !
