Picture(s) of the Day

June 12
Opening day for the 2011 series. 13 boats and perfect weather - only the breeze took its time turning up.
Picture is from the start of the first race - Lasers and Sunburst underway as the Optimists go into their start sequence. |

June 19
Winter arrives with a vengeance. The only redeeming feature was that it wasn't all that cold. Five braved the elements - Bernie (pictured), Lawrie and Joseph in their Lasers and the dynamic duo from Worser Bay - Sam and Oliver - in their Optis.
The top picture is from early on in the second race, looking north up the harbour towards Paremata. Hiding in the mist is the squall that gave everyone some challenging sailing, took out Joseph's boom, and gave us one of the more interesting rescues we've had to deal with.
The picture below was taken about two minutes earlier. As usual, not more than a handful of seconds separate Sam and Oliver. |

Group 2 started the way the first group finished with the breeze getting out of bed late and not putting in an appearance until after 11. Here's the pick of the shots from the first race.
We also had an unexpected visitor (below) who stayed around for the morning.

What a difference a week makes.
The 25 knots forecast kept a number of regulars away but did bring in Scott and Hoody and their Paper Tigers. Here they are enjoying the close reach down the harbour in the first race.

August 14
Coldest day of the series so far but you can't keep the Lasers away.
Looks really inviting doesn't it. It wasn't so bad on the water unless you were Jill Knowles and John Shephard on the rescue boat or Peter Holmberg and John Goodman who went swimming! |
