Blue Moon Regatta

 The Blue Moon Shark Spit Regatta took place August 31st and once again, my boat Gwyneth was there to compete and be part of the fun. Luckily the event coincided with a visit from my son Elgin who crewed on the race. Like the first regatta, we got an awesome start and sailed a good race but... ran out of wind towards the end and retired before we fried in the hot sun.


On the beach after the race we ran into my old pal Bernie who was there with the little boat Maya that he hand built on the beach out of found materials. She is beautiful!

After a great pot luck supper there was a beach fire and of course, music. Both Elgin and I sang a few songs. But the highlight of evening was when the whole group howled like wolves, first at the setting sun and a few minutes later, at the rising moon. It was a quintessential Cortes moment!
