With blustery conditions and the crew of Next Light a little light on Mark volunteered to work the foredeck - a rare foray into adventureland. Unfortunately our starting strategy did not include actually starting at the same time as the other boats. One advantage of starting behind is you get to see where the wind isn't and we made up a little ground.
Still Festering became the break away boat and the fleet divided with The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen fighting off the Axis of Evil and Black Velvet keeping pressure on Next Light throughout the race. With a code zero being raised three times the foredeck on Next Light was kept very busy and the hard work of the crew resulted in a 7 second handicap win - and no doubt Mark slept well that night.
The highlight of the day was the great hospitality and terrific meal enjoyed at the club after the race. Our thanks are extended to the caterers and all the volunteers who make race day possible. The crew of Next Light looks forward to taking our turn as dinner hosts at some stage over the summer.
