After some morning training 10 Laser hit the race track on a perfect Sunday. 10 knots of breeze and flat seas made for ideal race conditions and with 4 races completed it was a big day for the fleet. There is one more winter race (8th October) then it's into weekly racing. Its open to all OTB classes so we hope to see many more boats on the water.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Last Friday night the Laser fleet presented to the members in the bar before the draws.
A good crowd was there, some stragglers from the function earlier in the day too.
It was a brief talk, with question posed from the members, an impromptu Q & A.
A very successful evening.

Greetings from Four Mile Lake, located in 'cottage country' in Ontario's Kawartha Lakes region. It's been a pleasant late summer weekend up here, with great swimming & kayaking conditions (photo below).
|
|
On the field: last Friday night Essendon suffered another heavy defeat, losing by 70 points to Collingwood. The Magpies' victory means that they are this year's minor premiers and will have home ground advantage throughout the finals.
