Another day at the Georges River Sailing Club started as so many before them. Such a beautiful day with just a hint of strong winds in the mix.

Today saw the longest elapsed race times sailed this season due to very erratic light to moderate breezes which seemed to fluctuate endlessly between SW & SE. With moments of almost complete lulls then fresh gusts (Kurnell recording betw 4- 18 kts 1.30- 4pm), the conditions made for a very tricky race course. But it wasn’t too tricky for `Another Roady’ skippered& crewed by Peter& Pia.more
