Winter Series - Race 2
The Cat is out of the bag

Hi I’m Flinders

I’m new to the Getaway Team, and this is my first time out the Volvo 60. It’s great to be out of the Musto backpack, after the trip over to the mooring.

More about me later, I off to explore.
 
Talking tactics with Goldy
 
Sammy's sister Judie came out for the day. Judie is over on holidays from NZ, what better way to see Sydney Harbour?
 
Great to have Bucko on board.
 
Heave Ho boys.
 
Great to see Ben back on the water after a such a long time away.

Ben's mate Roland proved to be very handy on the boat.
 
The Main Man - Richard Davies.
 
Photo opportunity!

Man of the Match
While we were drifting around, waiting for the race to start. The engine cut out, to which we discovered one of the sheets had gone overboard and wrapped itself around the prop.

The question was who was going to go over?

Ben didn't hesitate, and took the icy plunge. After drifting along with no wind for so long, once Ben was over the wind picked up.

It certainly made things all that bit harder from him to unwrap the sheet which was wrapped six times around the prop.

A big thank you to Ben who saved the day.

Not the day I think Ben had in mind through......
