An unfair race....


Even with the head start it seems a bit unfair.




Taken with Mini 3 Pro.

I bet they don't slow down to over-take.

Lovely shot.    Nice to see so many boaters still going out.  

Looks like a Bond movie with the bad people approaching

It looks like the pre-race manuvering.

I bet they dont either,   like the water skiing video they almost scraped the yacht as they passed it.

That was the last week of the school holidays so they made the most of it.

I was bracing for a crash myself.

Inconsiderate hooligans

Which remind me,  these are the mines for collections,    not RLNI.

Regardless of the reason was just super nice to see so many boaters out.

AN yes - that looks familiar, like the one I remember from Bridlington, I think.

Can you work out where that one was?

I think it must be on the quayside at Padstow

Wrong coastline for that.

Then I might have said Looe, but I can't see one outside the lifeboat station.  The No12 didn't provide a clue either.

Getting much much closer.     Here’s a clue

If Im lucky I might get down for high tide later and get a few more.

I only went as a kid on holiday

I didnt reaslise those mines had been around so long like that.

Sounds like a plan to me.  Today will be the 5th straight day of rain and winds here.  I'm getting a lot of indoor work done but just about nothing left on my indoor to do list.  I finished all my preventive maintenance work on my boat so might be time to grab my pistols and head to the indoor gun range.

You must be due a hull cleaning by now?

Two completely different mindsets. For one the goal is the destination and the other the journey.

I had put it on my calendar for the last week of September but I may do it sooner, especially if I firm up the boat trip down to Aruba.  You'd be amazed at how much fuel you can save when the hull is completely devoid of marine life.

You need one of those automated solutions that the cruise ships use

I wish I did have one.  Oh well, I'm used to it now and I have all the right equipment.  

Looks like we have a winner.

Nice shot too

Yes,  I guess there are cheaters everywhere.

Not you

I have a couple,  and they will soon be coming out again.

But you are not a cheater (at least, you don't strike me as one)

Montfrooij Posted at 9-27 03:28

a cheater is also a type of jumper.   Used to be called a wind cheater but they tend to shorten that now to just cheater.
