Bird Island was the first of the Blue Water races and it took us the better part of 15 hours due to a distinct lack of wind. It probably took us about 6 hours longer than we figured and we were wet,  tired, hungry and out of beer by the time we crossed the line just after 1am Sunday morning. Given I owed you guys an update, it got me to thinking rather than a blow by blow of the race, you might be more interested in the race from a different perspective ….like why would we do it?

The majority of the High Anxiety crew recently went through the Yachting Australia, 2 day, Safety and Survival at Sea run by Neil Driscoll from Above and Beyond Boating. I thought you might like to know a little about the course, Why we did it and what we actually did.. 
 
Please note, I had to use a few photos from the web to demonstrate some points so don’t worry Mum’s and Dad’s of the crew, that’s not us in all those photos, we haven’t had to be rescued yet!

A balmy 14 degrees and 24mm of rain greeted the brave souls that turned up for the Opening day regatta at the RPAYC.

We had not done an opening day before so it was a chance for us to get in the club spirit, watch Bronwyn Bishop fire off the cannon, raise the flag and sing the national anthem. I didn't see the second verse coming but in retrospect I should have expected it! (In particular since it was printed on the back of the flyer.)

Well the 2014 Winter Series has now come and gone and it was as always a lot of fun. We decided to take the opportunity to shake things up a bit on the boat again with new positions for everybody, including yours truly.

The Lion Island series has come around again and with 62 odd boats on the start line it was easy to see why it has got to be one of my (and many others) favorite race series of the year....

So how did we do? Well things were looking pretty good for us until an ordinary final race knocked us off the podium, but more on that later.

The crew of High Anxiety is quite a diverse bunch! Chances are you didn't know we have quite the budding author, who doubles as a trimmer and pit(wo)man....  Here is a fabulous poem by Susii Whitmore about the casual race prior to the Winter series kicking off.

The end of the Spring & Summer racing series has come and gone and it was time to look back over the year that was at the the Annual Prize giving dinner at the RPAYC. I had a bit of an ulterior motive which was to get the guys together and thank them for all their time and effort this season as well as give out a few awards of my own!

Well what a weekend we had - great sailing, good fun, dolphins, burgers, nightclubbing.  On the way home storms, with pouring rain and 35 knt winds and with decent size waves on the nose all the way. We have put the best bits into a video for you to enjoy.... (dont forget to turn up the music and go full screen!)
