Goolwa
to Meningie Sailing Classic 2011
What
a great day!!
The
breeze was consistent all day,
This
was one of the quicker races, with all competitors finishing
BEFORE
1700 – wow! We were sitting around waiting for the last
of the cats to finish – a real turn-up
for the books.
A
presentation was held, then the beautiful tea, and even time
to sit around to reminisce over the day.
Many
thanks to the competitors, 24 boats started & all finished.
We
have enjoyed so much seeing this Classic Race once again.
Also
a great BIG thankyou to all the volunteers, who gave of their time,
Fuel, and boats. A special mention to Vic Woolston who took on the task
of Race Officer, and all the work that
this entailed.
The
backup of the S.E.S. boat and crew was also greatly appreciated.
To
everyone who supplied the lovely food, recorded results, worked radios,
the tender boat, changed the wheel
bearing on the boat trailer,
cooked the barbeque, washed dishes, worked
at the bar.
The
list goes on & on, & on.
Also
thankyou to members of the Meningie community who dropped in
And asked “what can I do to help”. We
were thrilled!
FANTASTIC
– this was another great Goolwa to Meningie!!!!
See
ya all next year – pass the word around.

A good time of catching up with each other,
And great food.
