After Saturdays sweltering heat we were all lookign forward to a brisk Nor' easterly to sweep across the lake and provide a great days racing.
As the morning progressed and as the information came of 20+knt breeze up the coast it was planned to get out on the water and get the racing under way before it all became a bit hectic.
The lake was glassy and the breeze a gently drift from the SE, hopefully it would fill in...
On shore it was stifling as the breeze shifted up and down.
The boats hit the water and promptly the wind dropped, it looked promising further out in the lake. The course was set and the wind played tricks. The southerly change that was predicted had stalled over the Hunter and the winds were confused and dropping.
Some didn't even make it to the start, Slippery When Wet returned to shore to repair the rig and when he went back to the race, the wind had dropped.
One race was completed interesting and often frustrating conditions.
Final results (Adjusted):
1st Lazy Bones
2Nd Dripping Sap
3rd Another Toy.
