The sun came out just in time for the start gun in the Jester Challenge Race.
It bucketed down all morning, turn just after 11 the heavens opened to sunshine.
We pooled out to see them off, no wind and a mega contrast to yesterday but at least it was in the right direction...easterly.
Huge admiration for them all, not all 70 plus made it to the start line but it wasnt a bad show with lots of additional flotilla like us sending them off.
Safe passage to all.
We came back in with sea fog rolling in behind us and came across a pleasant surprise on the run into the marina. Steve and his dads old boat. We first saw it when we came down to Plymouth, moored at Saltash and looking very sorry for herself. Well she too has been given a new lease of life and is now moored here at the marina.
Post berthing and a late lunch we went over to have a look. Lots of the additions that they had put on were still there an she sat very proud in her berth all ready to go. We saw her out on the water a few weeks back with both sails up, heeled over, having a blast and wondered if she had a new owner as looked loved again...now we know. Funny old world.
