Race Day 02

Well, after lots of waiting about, the second day of,racing finally got underway.  With the beach much drier than yesterday racing finally got under way following a pilot's briefing at 10:30am this morning and a 15 minute prep.  A 45 minute race saw some good racing through out the field.   I think some Sportsman called Dangerous Bob took top honours amongst our team, but everyone enjoyed the race, despite various kite issues.

One of the team even managed to destroy a marker, no guessing who!! and took out the flag, cone, marker board, as well as the Marshall (Ruairidh), a Jury member and photographer in the proces.  Well executed Mr Buggy...

With excellent timing the heavens opened as the first race finished, resulting in wet beach and early lunch.

The afternoon saw a second race in strong winds.  Following a false start and restart, a hour long race saw a good performance from the team, without racers settling in.  Again Dangerous Bob took top honours in the team, coming 44th overall.  Everyone appeared to enjoy themselves.

Hoping for more racing tomorrow.
