Rock Star Smiles
Graeme knows he can have way way way more fun on an NS14 than a Taser, it just takes days like this to remind him. The Smile says it all.
No racing but lots of fun
This Sundays Club Championship was postponed until another day after it was decided it was unsafe to sail because of the strong winds. This however did not stop the NS14 fleet from taking to the water and trying to find the strongest gusts they could find. Below are a few of the pictures i took and i apologise for not taking more but i was getting soaked and the light got really low when the rain came through
Northbridge Sailing Club "Teams Racing"
This Sunday the NS14 Team changed boats and sailed in the first Teams Racing event to be held at the club. After a long exciting day in the sun and eventual wind, Hugh, Rosie, JD, Kiah, Tara and Char won the best of 3 race final.
Short courses, close action and some frantic calls made it really exciting and interesting for the spectators.
Colin and i had a blast out on the water, bobbing around like a cork and trying NOT to get in anyones way
Thanks Hugh for organising it all, "lets do it again" was the general feeling.

Autumn Series Heat1
With gusts at times reaching 20 knots, Sunday was a day for some fun. Dave and Hugh ( Sailing with young Stephen ) had a great tussle but eventually Hugh sailed away for the win.
Tim Dunstan in Darkhorse spent the day showing his crew for the day, Sophie Holt, the joys of sailing at Northbridge. Not sure she was that impressed.

Somethings missing
Cameron decided to venture out on Sunday without a crew or a Jib............and what fun he had!!
First race of the New Year
The first race of the2011 was the Summer Series Heat 5 and as always, was a handicap race. For some it was the first sail for awhile while for others it was a chance to relax a little away from the intensity of the summer regattas.
The time off may have explained why some of the fleet decided to add an extra mark rounding to the days race!

Two from Two
For anyone wanting a crew on Sunday afternoons, when your regular one is a no show, then young Stephen might be a good bet.
For the past 2 Sundays Stephen has helped out Alex and Hugh, and in the process,WON both races.
He sails NJs in the morning and can generally be found after lunch sniffing around the moths.
