Sorrento first day of the worlds.

A very dull day but at least there is some wind.
As we entertained until after dark last night elected to stay alongside the club jetty for the night.
Quite comfortable and as the first race was at 1 PM there was no rush.
Decided to wander up to the club for eggs and bacon for breakfast.
After we went back to the boat and Rob  and Mark cast me off to go out and anchor before things got busy.
They went in to work on Altitude.

A while later Royce turned up in the dinghy to arrange a berth for Heather and Hugh to go out and watch the racing.We gradually collected a crew by various means and motored out to the course to see the first race start on time.
The wind was patchy and moving about afair bit but the PRO managed three races,one lapper we thought was a bit unfair as many boats did not finish within the time limit.

Rob had a pretty good day considering the conditions.One race he got out of jail after an ordinary start and another when first around the top mark and the finding a hole on the way downwind.

Results below and for those interested my first loaf of Sourdough turned out well,well I think so,Mark and I had some for lunch.

The forecast is for a bit more wind tomorrow.
