Ladies Turn

Yesterday was the annual Di Hunter Women's Sunfish Race off Nathan's Beach. The ladies have been having lessons for several weeks and you can tell it boosted their confidence and skill. Eleven sailors turned out to compete for this prestigious award and the comradery that goes with it.

Dave helped run the race and then we went out in our skiff to start the race, follow them around the course around Parrot Cays and back, finishing them with a horn back at the beach.

These women are tenacious. One of them flipped their boat, got back up and finished the race. Another one not only flipped, but her sail had problems and couldn't be hoisted all the way up, and yet she finished the race in 8th place. The flipping part is why I stay as chase boat and photographer!

Another fun activity we help with...and as a footnote: wow the water is warm!
