Vice Commodore's Cup

Bank Holiday Monday afternoon and it's the Vice Commodore's Cup, an early season cup race at WSC. After a morning re-gelcoating the dink on the bow after Sunday's mishap and tinkering with the engine I sat in the club out of the rain as a thunderstorm came through. The storm had the effect of tempering the crazy wind to something more manageable if not too light in the big seas, but still the turnout was poor for the race.

We had no chance of winning an all in PY race as the squibs will take care of that but we entered a short-handed crew of Stephen, Steve Dadd and myself. We were all quite busy in the short course with two laps sailed finally. Lovely work with the Touareg kite though including the best gybe we've ever done with it I think!

Fun times.
