WED Nite Race 3 November 2016

With the implementation of water shortages and new rules.. without clarity on the impact on the harbour, Yolo decided to make out of the harbour early, to bucket the boat with clean sea water.. Albeit, while motoring out, one noted a few boats hosing their decks in the marina.. Hopefully a clear dirdctive for the harbout in this regard will be issued so there is clarity. There was a Commercial Vessel on wharf that had been battling a fire aboard for the full afternoon, which risked issues within the harbour. This in turn restricted the bridge crew from going to the bridge. The bridge crew quickly got underway on one of the club launches to run a bridge on the water. IN the interim, the wind was switching... and frankly no clear decisive decisions were being made, with a race eventually set on a "fetch, reach course... which lasted all of under 40 minutes. Nice flat seas, variable winds, but good to be on the water. Yolo getting a first in class. Aboard were: Dale,Ian, Sieger and Cath.
