Christmas Sail day 2016
Members of FBP got together for our last sail run of the year, the day started with a bbq breakfast at 7AM, some sailing then a shared lunch with members of our families.
Sail wise the waters were calm with some wind, but as the morning wore on the Fremantle Dr got stronger and stronger, that only the big ships USS Missouri and HMS Hermes were able to handle the wind and still sail.
Models present were
HMAS Darwin - Peter Paulette, HMS Manchester - Andrew Kemp, HMAS Toowomba - Nige Rockey, USS Missouri - Bob Gilbert,
HMS Hermes - Glen Howells, HMS Ardent - Serge.
Also attending were members Tony and John
It was good day
As this is my first effort, I hope I have got this right
Cheers
Serge

Re: FBP - Christmas Sail day
No need to be sorry Rob family comes first. But yes it was a great day at least Hermes did not catch fire this time. Thanks to Pete rewiring her 2 weeks ago.
