"Chainsaw" leaves the downtown Sydney dock under a warm afternoon sun.
Christine, Gemma, Mark, Janine, Mick and John heading out on Sydney Harbour
In the lee behind Clark Island, we set sail.
Christine on cunningham
racing around at 10 knots
Quite a view from these apartments
crowded
All lined up, ready to start
Shortly thereafter, someone rips a headie to pieces.
pushing the limit
again, crowded
Gemma and Christine trimming, Mick by the wheel
Clouds develop; we'll get rain for the rest of the week.
our boom, their pole
squeezing by
Clark's Island in Sydney Harbour
Lined up on the high side, "weight high", are Scott, Gemma, Christine...and the rest of us.
Spinaker sailing on a Sydney 38: The kite has 6 lines, its pole 4 more! Then there's hoisting, jibing, taking it down...all to be done by me this coming Saturday as "foredeckie"!
