Thursday second last day.

The promised south wind finally arrived.We were up early and motored along to the club to prepare for the 11am start.
The breeze was offshore and gusting to 25 knots but moderated considerably during the morning.
There were a few stronger patches to keep them on their toes.
Rob was sailing well but just had one of those days.He was over the line in one race under the "U" flag which is instant disqualification.
 ,Go to the last place.
He also was well up in another race when his wand fitting broke and had to retire,fortunately it was the last race so he did not miss another.
Hopefully they will have enough races tomorrow so he can drop both.
To finish in the top 10 now will be difficult.

We  walked up to Blairgowrie and had a nice meal.Returned to the boat and have retired early.
Have moved back to our exposed berth on the end of the marina.Quite comfortable in this wind.
Last day tomorrow 11am start again.
Starting to watch the weather to cross Bass Strait again,not much good until Wednesday at the moment.

Today's photo.
How the other half live.The charter boat Pearl has been working out of our marina while we have been here.Some noisy late nights.
Note the flatscreen folds down from the roof on the flybridge.The dive boat alongside,sometimes replaced with a large inflatable or a jet ski.
