Inter Island Race and Governor's Cup

Less said about these the better really. 6 hours 15 for the crossing to Jersey, plenty of sunburn and 22nd overall. First two hours of the race wasn't so much sailing as drifting on the tide.

The wind picked up near Jersey, which was fun, but by the time it did, White Rabbit had already finished.

Sam Field took a load of photos (check out the one of the Jade underneath Condor!), as did I.

Sunday's governor's cup was also a bit of a let down, as the Guernsey team lost to the pesky crapauds 2-0. Light winds eh? What can you do.

Busy Weekend

It's going to be a busy weekend for Blue Jade - summer series race tonight, round the cans in Guernsey, then on Friday night we take the boat down to Jersey ready for the KB on Saturday. Metcheck says light winds so it looks like being a long one.

Sunday sees us competing in the Governor's Cup as part of the Guernsey team. Apparently the Jersey lot (crapauds) are bringing over a X362 Sport so we've been picked to give them a lesson in how to race...

Looking forward to it.
