2011.06.16 Whitby Single Handed

Got to the club at 5pm and had diner onboard with Rita.

Could see that Kye Express and Berserk were already out.
Wind was blowing 15+ knots from the east; apparently done this all afternoon.
Got off the dock at 6pm with the 110 and reefed main.

Wind dying; shook out the reef.

Motoring to the start line; dropped the 110 in favour of the 155.

Got to the start line at 6:15; no wind, with 3 to 4 foot swells left over from the day's weather.

The four of us bobbed around for about 10 minutes, sails flapping.
My GPS showed 0.0 knots the entire time.

Had a refreshment with John from Once Around who decided to try single handed racing on his Aloha 34.
Nice boat BTW.

Motored back in and motored around in the Port Whitby marina docks to see where friends from Newcastle are.
