​Our usual skipper, Carolyn, was avoiding the hot Sydney weather by gallivanting about in Hobart at the wooden boat show in Tassie. So her motley crew found it necessary to brave the elements (37.5 Deg C) without her..

Nevertheless Xena was in her element on the day. Having had her little bottom wiped clean during the week she revelled in the light NEaster and took off like a rocket on the sounding of the hooter. She was not even caught by the Div. 1 boats till well past our No. 6 mark (almost to Drummoyne wharf) on the way to the islands.

Great handy work at the front end resulted in fine spinnaker sets without a hiccup and we flew back from Cockatoo to the comfort of our bay. Even a large contingent of dinghy’s saw how well we were doing and kept well out of our way.  Unfortunately our nemesis Wind Falls was not having such a good run. Maybe the margaritas went off in the heat of the day. Sorry Sandy but we were having too much fun to wait for you.

​It was a great day out in the heat.
