Another big day on the water



                                 It was smiles all round for Dan Fitzgibbon and Liesl Tetch
                  as they sailed into a Gold medal for the 2015 Para World Championships.

Ya Hoo!

                                   
                                              Congratulations ... It has been great to watch!!

                                                  The Skud fleet faced some challenging conditions
                                                             with mounting seas and shifting winds

                                                                                    


                              there was an a chill in the air reminiscent of snow ... not summer sailing!!


                                                              there was close action at the start


                                                   Teams were surfing along for the ride


                                                                  riding the waves ...


                                                               catching the Media boat!


                                                                    copping a few bullets ...


 
the occasional bad moment....


                                                              some messy retrievals


                                                              summer surfing ..




 
Leisl and Dan enjoying the ride


                                                                       working it hard...


                                                            Just loving every minute..


 


                                                                                 

                                                                 a trio in line


                                                           then joining the coaches we ...

 
                                      pounded our way to Course 3-  the 2.4 Mt yachts
                                                                                   
Matt Bugg was looking good
 
                                                         The buoys rounding were crowded ..


                                                                         
                                                            leaving them to it ...       
                                                


                                                             it was a "Hello" to the Sonar fleet.


                                                                for a few 'close up and personal shots'




                                                                blue , blue and blue,


                                                      a neat looking line up




                                                                  closely packed starts




                                                                        cheerful teams



                                                                   goose wings ...


                                                                    some hiking out..


                                                                a medley of colours



                                                                      exciting angles..


                                                            eye catching colours




                                                          hard working volunteers..


                                                       The Commodore was out hosting spectators ..



                                        tomorrow is the last day of the Regatta    
                with several close competitions for placings for the world Champions.

                                  It Will be interesting .....Remember ... 11am start ...
