Race 1 was the 23nm Lindeman Island Race.
The great thing about this race is that all boats do the same course and the Cruising Division was up first. With a 15knot Sou-Easterly breeze The Count quickly established a lead over the other Cruising Non Spinnaker boats. The funny thing was that the only thing we had to follow over the course was a whale.
The Count lead the race up until the bottom of Dent Passage and a nautical mile from the finish line. Wild Oats, Loyal & Lahana went by with The Count taking 4th over the line and Line Honours for our division by 8minutes to the second boat in our division.
Note Wild Oats in the background.
Yes, we really were that far in front of everyone!
