Goolugatup Sailing Carnival was very exiting with lots of people from all different clubs. The Optimist States were incorporated into the Carnival. It was a bit boring bobbing up and down but we managed and everyone had an awesome time during the regatta with their friends and learnt a lot about race rules and upholding the sporting spirit.
Regatta in the Trees was held over the long weekend in Walpole, this was heaps of fun because we camped out and met heaps of country sailors. Best of all - no protests allowed and lots of classes racing together.
The Pirate Raid was lots of fun and with lots of water. The Optimist kids had a blast with the tenders and all the costumes were so cool and the food was amazing. Overall, the night was awesome. Thanks Power boat for organising and having fun in our clubhouse.
At the Nationals in Adelaide, Murray Duthie ranked 23rd in Salty out of 68 boats. Good job Murray. There were only 4 sailors from WA who went.
The sleepover that never happened was a bummer because I think I would have been really fun with the movie and lollies. I think we should plan to do it soon.
