Been pretty slack of late so apologies for the lack of news. Geograph race week was again a great event with over 100 yachts competing. Charlotte looked nice tied up at her new holiday home. The crew stayed mostly at Charlottes house with much drinking and plundering the name of the week. Unfortunately too many water based toys to play with so not many hard evenings in the bar, or is that good, not sure. Pool sharks came out of the woodwork to compete nightly during the sabatical rum sessions and disappear into the evening to plunder the bar. But they all strangely reappeared just in time for racing the next day. Feasts were a plenty and sailing was great.
Geograph still turns on the weather for great racing in light and shifting winds testing the patience of crews. Since its been so long it difficult to remember all the details but overall we finished third behind NF and OP with a couple of race wins during the week to keep them on their toes. Not bad for our first Geograph in the new boat. Once again the highlights for me were the night race and the long race with huey throwing everything at us in terms of wind.
