ROUND 6 took us to the very unpredictable weathers of West Bay.
Saturday - Race 1 we managed to take the lead from the start and keep it there meaning we finished 1st place and took the chequered flag 🏁
Race 2- we were doing well with the wind picking up and changing directions but this time had Aqua Blast hot on our tail and after a silly mistake under pressure, they managed to sneak past and take the take the win...2nd place battle we were neck and neck with Smokey and the Bandit but we just managed to pip them to the post and came second with just 5 seconds in it!
Unfortunately bad weather and high winds forced Sundays races to be voided but meant that we got a 1st place for the weekend as the first race on Saturday was longer than the second.
We celebrated our win and navigator Barbara's birthday that afternoon with some great mates enjoying some much needed down time in the pubs, arcades and eating 🎂 cake! As always we had a great weekend and thank everyone involved for their efforts and hard work!
We are now holding a position in the end of year championships so that means next month for our final races 🏁 we need to continue to battle it out and get on that podium again.
Now to pull a finger out doing some repairs and get the boat race ready for a couple weeks time. Wish us luck 🙏
