Shelley Bay will be the Venue for race 2 of the Welly Paddlers Series on Sunday October 10.
We'll be set up there from 9 am with the Welly Paddlers Gazebo and the ute full of Spot prizes.
Register with Sharlene as soon as you get there. The race briefing will be at 9.50 am with the race starting at 10 am.
With the balls up from last weekend still fresh in my mind, there will be a steely determination to hold this race whatever the Weather Gods throw at us.
Our course will be an upwind, downwind, upwind course and will head north to an anticlockwise buoy turn close to the shore just before Point Halswell then a good downwind run to the Burnhmam Wharf (Northern most of the two wharves) where you'll turn clockwise around a buoy close to the shore and then head back to the finish at Shelley Bay...........that's an easy 6km.
There will also be a shortened course for SUP's, so we'll set that once we see what will work for those who turn up.
If the weather is blowing like the proverbial 40 bastards we'll move our venue over to the Hataitai Beach, Cog Park Area and make the most of some good downwind legs at Greta Point and some sheltered upwind legs which are on offer on that side of the Evans Bay.
The course for the day will be posted on a white board, which you'll see when you register and I'll explain this to everyone at the briefing as well. After the briefing you'll get the usual 10 minute warm up period then well gather up behind the start buoy then head off when everyone's ready.
Normal Service will resume with race results and photos on the website by 9 pm Sunday night.
I'll post a forecast for race day on the website by 9 pm Saturday October 9
