RANSA 2008/09 Twilight Series

RANSA 1 - thanks to Janet, Val and the crew of the start boat.

Well the season has started again.

Race 1 - Leapfrog got a third place when a big southerly buster came thru and two boats lost their masts, while Higgy was sunk. All hands were safe and sound, but wet !

Race 2 - Leapfrog got 12th ( we are not very consistent so far this year).. the winds were very light and the race was shortened.

Crew meeting 13/11/2008 was well attended by the new seasons crew. The Pecking Duck, Beef and Blackbean and the juicy Omlette all got the thumbs up at the very classy Redfern Chinese Duck restaraunt. The wine certainly flowed until discussions became obscure, mottled and the brain somehow wanted to go on. A "Cock Sucking Cowboy" round brought in Kyles McGyles birthday, and proceeded to produce a few sore heads the following day. All in all it was a success with the crew now being very organised.

Race 3 - Leapfrog got 13th (becoming more conssitent) the winds were gusty, Dave went 3/4 overboard and knackered himself. Greg skilled up on foredeck duties with young Chris. Jo winched like a crazy cat with Dave, Tony acted as ballast, cleaner, barman, and vang operator. And Scott captained like a man possessed.
