Saturday 30 July -Louise Bell

This Saturday began the Winter A2 series and despite the rugby, PG Glass Majimoto was on the water in full swing.

The day got off to a bumpy start when we got to the end of the harbour and realised Simon had left the yacht - unseen by anyone - just prior to sailing. We headed back to get him (after some debate)  but he'd already caught a lift out on 'Chen'. After an impressive bit of seamanship, we managed to get Simon back on board and be on our way! (Thanks Russell for the assistance)

With her full compliment of crew now on board, PG Glass Majimoto made another screamer of a start and after thrilling dice with Touch & Go (T&G has a massive masthead kite and caught us on the downwind legs - we then took it out of her into the wind) - the rest of the fleet were out of sight. The crew were again on form and faultlessly managed  every jibe, spinnaker hoist and tack. even so it was only after a last-minute shortened course  that PG Glass Majimoto crossed the line first with 'Touch 'n Go' only inches behind.

After handicap corrections, we came second which put us in the prizes again. Good job we have a wine drinker on board- what is Lindsay doing with all of it?! So a good start to the A2 series- (if we keep it up maybe we will even keep it this time! :)
