R10: Chocolate Moose on the Waitemata

A lovely evening on the Waitemata, with a bit more breeze than last week.



The Crew

John (Captain), Nicola, Dave, Tim and Ian.

Course 8

To Rough Rock, Bean Rock, Resolution, and home, shortened to Bean Rock. We had a lovely sail back after the shortened course, hitting 8 knots (with the help of the incoming tide!).

The Start

We were good on our start again tonight, with the charge to the line starting 3 minutes before the gun, in the light airs.

Progress

We stayed city-side tonight, after having failed to make great progress against the tide going to the Devonport side of the course. This was a good move, however Nicola did start suggesting that we have a beer a bit earlier than usual - meaning we had plenty of time in the light wind to think of other things! Thinking of beer of course, is second only to thinking about trimming sails.


The Result

Not our finest hour on the race track - but in the clubrooms a different story! I got a Mariner Insurance discount voucher, and Dave picked up a few beers.


Beer Review: BRB Chocolate Moose

A bit different - mmm very nice and chocolaty - lets see how it fares in the voting ;-)






cheers, johnhs
