Pleasant Westerly

The halfway weekend of the spring series was 4 races in varying conditions. Races 1 and 2 were held in a 10-15kt westerly. Dobbo welcomed a new crew Julia to the sixteen in race 1 and the start boat crew nearly abandoned ship after James buried the bows on the finish line. In race 2 James got a great start and John, teaming up with Howard, decided to impersonate a teabag.

After lunch races 3 and 4 required a paddle out to the start line but then a light sou-westerly gave good racing while the V8 fans missed out. Egbert was happy with the start line all to himself for race 3 while the sixteen's were playing bumper boats. Rachael had taken the tiller for races 3 and 4 and took out line honours in the sixteen fleet in race 4. How often does James do this?
