For those who did not come, I am happy to say that we arrived at Beauty Point at 10.20 last Sunday morning, and the boat is safely tied up in the Marina. We had a fair bit of breeze on the Friday, and had a good run under the small Asymmetrical spinnaker between Maria & Schouten at about 17 knots, but it got up to 40 knots & we were down to 3 reefs & the 4 beam reaching, so we stayed in Bicheno for Friday night. We then had a light wind sail through Banks Straight, before the last 20 miles on the nose before getting to Launceston. Nothing broke (apart from Baxy’s leg – well he cut it pretty badly, but he can tell the story), and the job list is still relatively short but important (new deck speakers). We also got our safety check with the organizers done, and we have the bow stickers on, so we are right to start. The only thing left is for the runners to check off their gear with the race office before the race.
For those who don’t know, Wild West either fell off a wave, or hit something or both in Banks Straight, which holed it pretty badly, and they managed to limp into Bridport. The boat will be trucked home from there.

OK,
Internet connection finally,
Ebverytime i get a chace to come down stairs from a sail change there is no connection.
but we are in the channel and things are looking good.
A small fleet of around 12 yachts started the 2007 Bruny Island race with Dr Who, Fruit, Creative inTension Intrigue and ABN Amro the main contenders. Creative inTension was the most windward boat on the line at the start with Dr Who towards the pin end.
The fleet split early after the start in a light southerly. Dr Who gained the early advantage and leads the fleet by about 1 mile with Intrigue, Fruit, ABN and Creative inTension in a close battle just south of the Iron Pot.Yachts have been able to utilise their reaching sails with the breeze clocking slightly to the east.
This years course takes the fleet in a clockwise direction outside bruny then back home up the channel.
by the time 12:30 had rolled around the leading yachts had bunched up in almost a strait line but spread over about .5 of a mile. dr Who still leads an is the most western boat out to Creative inTension to the east a little offshore.
Dr Who rounded the Fryers at around 3:20pm just ahaead of ABN.Intrigue wasn’t far behind withe Fruit leading Creative inTension just behind. All yachts ran accross te bottom of the island creative inTension was doing around 10knots. Dr Who rounded into the Cannel right on 4pm and have continued to leadc the fleet up the channel. The order from the Fryers still remains although Fruit and Creative inTension have made good gains on Intrigue.
The fleet is progressing well up the channell and look good for a decent finish time.
dont forget to check out the gallery.

At day Break on the 30th Team Creative inTension where only a couple of miles from “turning the corner” at Tasman Island. The crew have halved the lead fellow Tasmanian entrant Fruit had on them to be just 7 1/2 miles and are still chasing hard.
