January 2008 Archives
2008 presents a rare opportunity for us to sail to Sydney Harbour and enjoy the Australia Day festivities on a Saturday, then to enjoy a relaxing Sunday and return to Pittwater on the Monday.

Our plan is to rendezvous in the Harbour and cruise participants are requested to monitor VHF Ch77 for movements of other Club members.

The angle was just right so the big, sexy assy went up and boat speed was quickly into 7's and 8's.

Reliance rounded Barrenjoey at 1500 on Boxing Day in a strengthening NE breeze. We had a great sail south in the wake of the Hobart fleet (just missed them I guess) and arrived at Jibbon Beach at sunset in time for a refreshing swim.

Is the first race of a new RPAYC Kayak Racing Division?
Is it the new kayaking training scheme for the elderly (note instructor in inflatable)?
Or is it the AlfredsCruising recommended substitute for the Coffs race?
No doubt all will be revealed when the reports from the Lake Macquarie cruise filter out...
[Later] Oh, it's the Nutz Cup! Well... that explains all, doesn't it?
