Elite Keel aborted - Sam's here we come

We showed up for Elite Keel on Saturday but we were so short-handed that 1) our maneuvres were much slower than everybody else's and 2) our boat speed was much slower than everybody else's. This in a nutshell means that we are not competitive at all, more or less double-handling around the buoys in a competitive one-design fleet.

So on the Sunday, we decided to sail out of the gate, set the kite and over to Sam's for brunch...

We also did a couple of man overboard practices to go get a hatch and a fender that decided to escape...both were successful and the lost items are now accounted for, thanks for asking.

Nat to Suzanne 'so that's roughly what would happen if you fell overboard, when we come to get you'

Suzanne to Nat 'I am certainly pleased to hear that you'd come to get me...'
