TCYC Sailpast Race 2010

It was sail past and SEA WEASEL was out in all her finery for Tiddly Cove's sail past and race. As usual it was Cheryl my mother and sister in law obstensively for "Mother's Day" we headed out for a "Mother's Day Sail".
The Usual or Unusual Crew:
Poutty-Pants Cheryl.

Jo Skipper (I am not kidding - it was her name).


Tyler and Lizzard.
The sail past took it's usual relaxed pass and was followed up by the short race from "Tiddly Cove" to a southerly Freighter and then the QC Buoy. We had a good start and relaxed gybe to a freighter that was to the South. I misjudged the current and leeway and we wound up having to put in a tack at the last minute which saw us loose a position. In the end the end we ran across the line under spinnaker and came in 3rd out of 5.

The sail past in all it's disorganized glory

Heading south I prepare the kite.
