A "just right" Saturday afternoon afloat

It was a "just right" Saturday afternoon afloat, a gentle breeze but enough for the enthusiastic crew to hone their skills, not too hot/cold, no rain (we need rain but not while afloat) and best of all No Mozzies (? too dry).
Green frogs have made the BRSC ladies heads their home. I wonder why they never fancy the gents?

All the best crew help with the wash down
The weekend followed a familiar pattern. Leave Byron Bay early, stop at Little Italy en route for a coffee, arrive at the BRSC around 10.30 and rig Little Dragon followed by a first rate sandwich from the canteen. Better gloss over the next bit as I still haven't got the hang of backing Little Dragon down the single ramp. Once afloat Rae and Cathy practiced motoring head to wind. Hoist the sails and we're off up to the Harwood Bridge and back. I couldn't resist the temptation to join the last round of the Saturday afternoon race. Good fun especially as we had to gybe round all the marks. Rae and Cathy did the pack up and wash down while I was at a committee meeting. Then off to an excellent dinner at the Harwood Hilton. Next morning we headed home after breakfasting on the club deck watching the sun burn the mist off the river. We reckon this is the best glamping ever.
