The Last Day ... it was wild and exciting with plenty of action.



                           It took me a day or so but I managed to sort out how to get out on a boat without having to venture through the surf, clinging to a Zodiac! 

           it was worth it .. some great action shots for the last day of racing , followed by presentation and a wonderful dinner catered by Keppel Bay Sailing Club.

       As at every event the volunteers are the backbone of the event.. they man boats, sizzle sausages, handle trolleys, serve the bar and make the sandwiches.. so a big thankyou to the volunteers of KBSC.

                                                       Getting the boats ready
                  
organising my ride!

A dedicated band of volunteers worked all week preparing boats,

                                                               Bevan kept the Barbara R going ..
         

                                                                and then the action started










but this was just the warm up..

there was Perrin action


lessons in flight..


submarining


some played chasey


others appeared a little more at ease..


there was plenty of spray


highs and lows









there were people disappearing ..



 










and if not sinking below the waves, they were flying past,

 











 



 




bow thrusters ..
 






or evan AIRBORNE in Johns case



there were capsizes all over the course




fierce competition


colours to brighten the green waters





 
There was Show me your abs!.. ie.. Hiking
 

 


 











 












Races finished ,

 

 










 




 



 










 

 




 
 



 





 








 


 
 
.. and finally it was all over..
 
 
boats were packed on trailers for the long and longer journeys home...





The beach was back to peace and quiet...



and then presentations were made..

Bob was made a life member..



and shared a story or two

 
Steve took the silver


everybody won a prize..









Michael Brown took home the silver.. AGAIN !!

 
said a word or two

 
the Queensland Team had a photo
 opportunity


Michael made use of the drinking cup..


with a little help from his friends..

 
and the happy smiles said it all...
 
 



 
 
 
 
Until next year..
