Many New Hobie Faces Share The Bay

On Sunday, our magnificent bay was shared between our club racing and a large range of Hobie kayaks at Hobie's 'Big Day Out'. About 50 kayaks took to the water in the morning and many new faces were welcomed to our beach. Whether it was the new faces, the pod of dolphins swimming around, or the ideal conditions for some single handed sailing but some showboating was going on amongst the Hobie 16's.

Play of the day goes to Mick for capsizing his 16 whilst sailing one up. Not to be outdone, Will and Patrick thought Mick's boat needed a second swim and Di and Meg joined in on the capsize action. Race 1 and 2 were held close to shore, giving spectators a great view of the racing. Egbert and Siebren took line honours in both races before lunch and Howard performed well with supercrew Andrew onboard to lead the Autumn pointscore. Your storyteller headed off early and missed out on the afternoon session so what happened in race 3, stays in race 3.

Watch this space for any updates on this weekends camping trip.
