Races 3 & 4

SE breeze came in at about 12.30pm and stayed for the afternoon. Initially it was 12-15k but then by race 3 it has eased back to 5-8k.

Results for women in race 4 are subject to protest due to a large number of boats between 20th and 35th finishing in very close proximity.

I went to Bellerive Oval this evening to watch Tas vs NSW Twenty20 cricket. Tassie lost. The oval is smaller than Canberra Stadium! I was surprised. But it is a lovely location alongside Bellerive Beach.

Found a pizza/pasta shop to get some food after the cricket - only had a couple of oysters and a sausage at the yacht club beforehand - felt like I needed some carbs - so I ate half a meal of spaghetti and vegetables, I have the other half in the fridge for tomorrow night.

Forecast for Hobart tomorrow is 35, becoming windy!! Boating weather is for winds N-NW during the morning and increasing to 15 to 25 knots, before a westerly change at 10 to 20 knots Thursday at night. Stronger gusts possible during the afternoon and evening!!!

I have slightly straightened the mast - will review weather tomorrow. Plan is to have it back to original straight position and rig with some slack so she lays over and I get better boom vang tension into the mast - that's the plan - but I will review in the morning.

  1. I am up the coast at present, have just borrowed a computer to check out how you are going, looks like you have done really well, you and Fiona have a real contest going. Glad you got to see the cricket, the 20/20 is a much faster game. Will now check next blog.
