This morning’s forecast was for a beautiful, fine & sunny morning, with light winds. Unfortunately the wind strength turned out to be somewhat disappointing. It commenced as a very light Southerly wind, fortunately building after a while to a useful breeze for the sailors, & then going calm again.
Despite that, everyone on the sailing boats returned with big smiles.
We rigged & launched 5 Hansa 303’s (2 person dinghies). With participants numbers down a little for the day, those who sailed had much more time on the water than usual.
Skippers for today were: John, Denis, Michael, Jackie, Skye & David. Warwick & Ken again operated the escort boat, Charlie’s Chariot. Corey undertook his usual efficient role of radio operator & boat scheduler. Malcolm, Peter & Nola were kept busy on the pontoon.
We had a surprise visit of 2 members of Airlie Beach QLD Sailability. They are friends of Skye & they managed to experience Manly Cove from Charlie’s Chariot.
A positive morning was experienced by all.
