Fleet Base Perth Sailing Day - Sunday 4 November 2018

Post by PearlHarbour52 »

Sailing Day presented itself with clear skies and sunshine and little wind at lakeside, which promised a good days sailing Members that attended were Andrew, Nigel, Bob and Glen enjoying the day and catching up a busy Fremantle Maritime Festival last Saturday.

Some good manouevering of boats was observed by all with the occasional lapses in concentration for those debriefing instead of watching their cares but as always rescued in the nick of time.

It was certainly a glorious Morning for a sail. The banter was, as ever, entertaining. As was of course, my lapse of concentration when Toowoomba mysteriously disappeared from view..............OK, I was yapping and totally lost sight of her.
Slight feeling of panic, followed by relief when her turning radars caught my eye. Phew! :stupid:
