In Bon Accord on saturday someone I know who was doing the race was motoring around looking for coffee, "I thought you were meant to be in Russell" "This is Russell isnt it?" 🤣 We took over 6 hours bashing rto Kawau from town and was pretty over it by then, so all credit to the hard core who finished and also the "I go yachting for fun" award to all those who retired.

102 boats entered, 67 started, 38 finished. The winning boat (on line) stopped, and rescued the previously winning boat, then continued and still got there first!

It was nowhere near as bad as the forecast said... which appears to becoming the norm and Im sure that put alot of people off. The forecasts were saying if you werent round Brett by 0200 you were going to get a pasting, and it just wasnt like that. My only other gripe was that the wind swung left after every left hand turn...sometimes she can act like a real bitch. We finished at 0400 after a 20 knot screamer down from the Brett.

He just said it would be exciting and that there would be sightseeing. No promises were made re: dry, comfortable, or warm!
