We left moorings @ 10h30 in chilly, strong
winds. Being on the catamaran we were moored close to shore & protected by
Burger's Breakwater, but the easterly wind was not kind to yachts moored in
the bay - ask the Durrants!
Experiencing our new catamaran in that wind was
a learning curve as it just went faster & faster. After realising that the
rubber duck behind us was submarining we tried to slow down (less sail,
slower yacht ) - next time the duck travels on deck!
When we arrived at the leeward side of the
island we met up with cruisers from Pennant Nine and dropped anchor. We were
soon joined by the rest of the LDYC cruisers (+- 7 yachts ) for a raft up
lunch.
After lunch we motored into VCA bay, picked up
moorings and retired to the pub for complimentary drinks - thanks VCA!
Braai fires were provided, competitive pool
games, good pub support, warm night's sleep & a great breakfast followed
sequentially.
We look forward to VCA's visit to us in
September - time to reciprocate!
We thank everyone who joined this cruise - see
you on the Summer cruise - 28 & 29 October - venue to be announced.
Best wishes,
Simon & Sheryl Fisher.
