Wednesday Afternoon GO Sailing

February 13, 2025

Wind: NE-8-13 knots

Tide: L@16:29M

Course: 16CR

Number of Boats: 46

Another great afternoon, another great new course and another great fleet all combining to provide an awesome sail. The new course must have been a little too new for some. Confessions from some skippers of missing a mark of the course and reports of others, not so honest, doing the same, was only one of the hot topics in the bar post-race. There really is no excuse for getting a course wrong. Between the pre-race briefing received by all via What’s App around 10am on the day of race and the 3 TV’s within the bar, I don’t understand how anyone can get it wrong. HO HUM!

The start line was set near the entrance to Aquatic Paradise and gave a short windward leg to Lockyer Light where a port pass was required. Then it was on to GERM (Green Island Rec. Mark) which should have been kept to starboard. This is where the above spoken offenders had issues-failing to observe the mark and sailed east and started on the next leg. I digress—From GERM it was a beautiful long beat all the way to the SHRM (Sand Hills Rec.Mark) before a port turn brought the fleet back to a finish line at the Green Island Western Cardinal. It was a very nice run all the way home and, as expected, close company the order of the day. Please remember and monitor CH 72!!!!!!!
