Eddystone Pursuit, 11th July 2009

 

Preparing to start - thanks to Kim, I think these pictures show what a lovely summer's day it was...
At least we started - the yellow and black pole marks one end of the start line...
Once the genoa was sheeted in (!) we overtook 2 boats with the same start time as us before we got to the breakwater. Although we've been out in much more challenging and even less pleasant conditions on numerous occasions we decided a while later, that as this was a 'fun' event and there wasn't much of that in prospect for the next 5 or 6 hours, to retire. We were not alone - see here...
