The race was not very kind too us, no wind - we covered something like 12 miles in 24 hours as opposed to a more normal 120 miles and you can tell from the photos, the batteries overheated so that they gave off sulphur fumes, the engine wouldn't start easily and we had to retire - other than that it was great! Crew for the race were, Richard and Dawn, Paul March, Kevin and Susie Harris, Joe Hatcher and of course Jim McKeogh.
Now you see them...
Now you don't!
And again...
and again...
and once more for good luck!
Putting the gear back on the boat - I think Joe believes we need a bigger dinghy!
And then it's out of the water for the winter while we go back to work and then to New Zealand
