90 Mile Beach Trip – Day 1

Thursday saw the early arrivals head for 90 MB to start sailing in a 5-6 Kent breeze. Over the next 1 1/2 hours the wind rose to about 15 knts and a steady stream of arrivals meant over 20 karts racing on the beach. Wayne got a top speed of 70 km/hr at the end of the day after 10 mixed races, some short and others longer to make the most of the wind and smooth sailing conditions. A great Pot Luck dinner and a few drinks finished off the day for everyone. Friday is over to Tokerau in the morning to sail the change to SE wind and then hopefully back to 90 MB in the afternoon to catch the sea breeze. All good from the team up North!
