Good Day for GBR and Bribery

Today was quite a good day for GBR Optimists.  Spurred on by Annabel and Megans 420 Worlds win our guys went out determined to have a good day.

The first 2 races were wind against tide and the race officer set the line with 25degrees of pin bias?

The wind was 10-15 kts to start off with- something of a hurricane in these parts, but still very warm.

Scott had a 6 and 7 and as the wind faded to a wimper with strong wind with tide finished with a shocker.

Ollie had a mid fleet followed by nearly a 10 and  a great 2, robbed of a bullet on the line.

Arran had a goodish day, a teen and a 20's followed by a race to forget in about .25 of a knot.

Josh was still struggling to get off the line, but had a great start in race 3 and was closem to the lead, the wind died and with it his result, still it was an awsome start.

Matt, got stuffed up on the starts and was DFL in the last race on the last leeward gate Scott had gone left for his shocker and banged right for a 21ish and a big get out of jail smile.

The Bribery- today I had to pay ythe sailors if they were better than a particular place and they had to pay me if they were worse than a particular place.  I just about broke even!

Just off for a team dinner.
