Twilight results Mar 1

Well the winds just keep rolling through every Tuesday night but that's the way we like it, lots of wind = lots of fresh air.............and hey look at the weather we have on Wednesday, Tuesday looked pretty good.

Sorry we had a baggy line on the top buoy and it got a little baggier with the tide going out and Sandy got caught on it on lap 4 ..... unfortunately those on skis and kayaks with understern rudders suffer this fate when cutting the buoys finely....................I'll make sure I get the buoy line length right next week...............or better still live in hope of a course that heads around the Fountain and back................I'm sure a bit of a lull in the winds stakes and fine weather may draw a few more paddlers out next week.

There are now four more races remaining in the series which means that the last one is on March 29, we will have a spread of Pizza and drinks and dish out a big pile of spot prizes..................the more people that participate in the next 4 races the bigger the spot prize pool will be.
