A stunning day at Safety Beach! ☀️⛵
Warm sunshine, a beach bustling with people and plenty of power craft out on the water — a sure sign of what’s to come as summer approaches!
The unmistakable buzz (or should we say roar!) of jet skis filled the air, accompanied by that all-too-familiar whiff of petrol! 😜
Unfortunately, while the sunshine was in abundance, the wind was not quite so generous!
The keelboats managed to get away, but alas, as the breeze continued to fade, the entire fleet eventually conceded defeat and retired — surrendering to the conditions!
Thanks to Ross (RO) and our fabulous on-water team (Simon, Peter, Luke & Vince) we managed to squeeze in two short races, shortening the course on both occasions to ensure we actually came away with some results!
Eventually, it was AP over A for the OTB fleet, and the lure of a cool drink back at the clubhouse was certainly a welcome consolation!
Enjoy this weeks “View from the start boat”.
