PINTO RUSSEL CRUISE 27th April 2017

A firm favourite, a fun day, not exactly a racing theme.. just about spending some time on the water.. There were race’s with different scoring. On Yolo it was decided to not be too serious with this event and just enjoy it. Getting a good start, we sailed the most direct course to Murray Bay, Robben Island getting there first. As we knew there would be quite a few boats planning to anchor, we decided to pick a position slightly outside the bay.. so as not to have too many boats trying to get into the small bay, which could have some snaring up if anyone’s anchor dragged. Eventually all the boats were anchored in the area with most enjoying themselves. Aboard Yolo we were able to enjoy ourselves relaxing while taking in the great view.. phase 2 of this event involved a second race and other activities which was planned to be set off at 5pm.. We decided to rather sail back to CT earlier forgoing the final phase. We had a great sail back in idealic conditions on flat water. A great day was had. Aboard were: Dale, Ian, Sieger and Cath
