Hi All
With a unpromising forecast for rain and storms eleven F18s were towed north to compete in the Darren Lowder Memorial Regatta at Trial Bay. God obviously sails an F18 because yet again we were lucky with the weather. The clouds parted on cue, the sun shone and a 10 -15kt Nor'easter kept everybody happy. We had three great races each day and a social barbeque Saturday night at the Lowders party HQ. Unfortunately the race organisers haven't forwarded the results yet despite me sending a couple of emails. I think they must be collapsed exhausted in a heap somewhere after going to so much effort to put on such a good show. I have passed on our thanks for their help.
From memory I think the results were 1. Chris and Richard Brewin, 2. James and Clo Ogilvie, (on a count back) close 3rd. Ned and Dean Nissen, 4? Ian Simpson and Ryan, 5? Trevor Lowder and crew 6? Kes and crew, 7 Stuart and I, 8 Brett and Lachie White, 9 Glenn and James Towndrow, 10 Ian and Jack Morgan, 11 Terry and Vince. When the complete results arrive I will forward them on. I am going to Canada skiing on Saturday and will be back on the 29.03.10.
We only have two events left in the Travellers series this season. On Saturday 20th March we will be racing at Palm Beach Sailing Club. Then we have nothing organised until the Anzac Day Regatta at Bateman's Bay. I have attached the NOR for this event. I have emailed the organisers and I will forward on the detail about camping and food. Probably best to book early for accommodation as this is a popular destination on a holiday long weekend. I will remind you all closer to the time.
Best of luck
Hope to see you all when I get back
Leanne Gould
