We were delighted that Rebecca made the effort to include us in her holiday plan for Australia. Whilst she was here we managed to get her and Anna out on Peregrine for a sail. This particular day was a Sunday and also a race for the 'Lady Skipper Trophy'. The wind was light and Charlotte took the helm. She confided that she had not sailed a boat since she was 15 years old, but she had not lost her touch. Had a real feel for making the boat go fast and was right on the transom of the lead boat at the first mark. As the day played out, we managed to get both Rebecca and Anna wet when they were made responsible for dragging in the spinnaker at the first bottom mark. We were overtaken by a quicker boat during the rest of the race, to finally finish a very respectable third over the line.
Bruiser the wombat was the second highlight of the day. Then a rush back to the train station to get Rebecca and Anna back to Melbourne for Chinese New year celebrations.
Hope you enjoyed you trip to Australia Rebecca. Looking forward to you doing it again soon.
