SPRING SPLASH
Bon Accord Harbour, Kawau Island
Labour Weekend SUNDAY 25
th
October 2020
The Spring Splash at Labour Weekend had good
attendance in perfect weather. It was exactly what was
needed to blow out the cobwebs of winter and get us
looking in anticipation to the summer ahead. With a
moderate breeze and most yachts carrying their #2
headsails, we all charged around the usual course
through Blanche Channel and back to Bon Accord -
except for a few who were delayed a while under the
lee of Motuketekete. Well done to Richard Dodd on
Starlight who managed to beat the rising bilge waters to
take first place before he was forced to man the
buckets.
Achernar followed after having passed Castanet and
Scout in the dash to the finish with Rainbird closing up
quickly in the battle for third. After the race a raftup with
a prizegiving and potluck shared meal and festivities
followed through the evening onboard the ‘mothership’
Moerangi. What could be better on a mild spring
evening!
