First over the Line

The Mayor's Gala dinner was held the next night, Saturday 30th July. It was a repeat of the previous night except that different sailors were chosen to go on stage and none of them gave a speech. The winners of the prizes were announced. The categories were: best dressed crew, best dressed boat and first over the start line. Sal Darago was FIRST OVER THE LINE! This was a fantastic achievement for our 36ft veteran, especially as she was up against 50ft monohulls and speedy catamarans. We watched them all go past us after the start. Here's Jeremy modelling our prize, a waterproof sailing jacket. We thought this was very generous.

The wifi signal here is a bit slow and intermittent, which is why only one photograph at a time can be blogged. Next stop for us is the much quieter island of Rote.
