Poole - Round the Island (again!)

The annual Poole Round the Island race was the first time back on the water since the GP14 Nationals - how would I do? Would the experience at Brixham translate into improved confidence on the water at Poole?

Poole Yacht Club is a favourite place to visit - always welcoming - a sort of "second home" to some people from Welsh Harp Sailing Club. The Harp also had a couple of novices in a club boat this year. It was also the first event I had helmed at - back in 2014.

The event consists of teams of 3 boats. We were with Richard Lord and "Scooter" in the WHSC "A" team, which ended up second overall. Our positions  were 16th & 17th out of 22 boats; so we provided the "discard" scores!

Great crewing from Yasmin Hales, who has only been sailing a year, but did brilliant work. 

No prizes - but the Adams/Hales team acquitted themselves well!
