I must give credit where its due, Napier sailing club is one of the best yacht clubs in the country excellent facilities and great staff and helpers. There are also quite a few characters amongst the members with not all of them on good terms with each other, it can make having a drink in the bar a strange experience
The restart:
Fog caused delays for two ships coming in and out of the port. vingalot then got caught on the wrong side of the port entrance and the harbour pilot stopped them crossing back. The fog eventually lifted and the race restarted 15 minutes late at 17:15 with everyone getting away cleanly, well at least for the first few minutes.
Truxton spotted the banana attached to their prod before the restart Skinner didn't look too impressed while removing it.
Special thanks to Frank and Rose for sharing their house with us we'll be back next regatta
Off to visit the craters of the moon tomorrow then home.
