​We all assembled at the club for delivery to LoEG ( League of Extraordinary Gentlemen) midday.
At the boat it was the usual bit of light maintains reload the Esky, next  we see Willo and George rowing to the boat. All aboard so up goes our main, drinks called as we head down to the club.
Talk then starts about sail selection for the harbour, with a run out tide and the wind on our back coming home.  The right selection of the jib can make our day.

Div 1 - Spring Series - Race 4

We motored out of Tarban Creek and felt the the strength of the southeasterly piping out of Five Dock Bay so we reefed the main rather badly and sailed up to the start. We decided to shake out the main and use our number two jenoa knowing that we would be over powered in Hen and Chicken Bay.

We get to the LoEG 12.30 for some maintenance and usual pump out then pack the Esky with refreshments.  Next we see Willo ashore and about to row to the boat, but no George today.
Guess he has gone to his soccer Presentation with his brother Ed. Now 2 crew down, a lot will be expected from our spare crew Paul today.

Race Report From Lennie on Hot Stuff....
​
The boys brought the boat into the wharf & we were waiting for one more crew to arrive.  While waiting the wind was blowing up to 15 knots. It was pretty wet too. We got out on the water with minutes to spare for the start. There were 3 boats in the race, Blur, Hot Stuff, and Still Festering. We changed head sails all up 3 times with 1 on a down winded run only to find we were coming 2nd in between 5 to 7 knots of wind, so we chased Mich & crew on Still Festering all night long. 

 Still Festering come across the line 1st and then Hot Stuff got a gust of wind on the line to cross the line in 2nd place, and Blur drifted back to the finish line in 3rd place. Handicap results were Hot Stuff in first place, Still Festering in second and Blur in third place.
