Halifax .. 2014 Let the Racing begin!



               
The journey was undertaken in stages, which made it all a bit easier,

                    until we finally arrived , with all our baggage !

                                                         
 
Leaving Brisbane

 
We whizzed past Hollywood

 
found every piece of baggage....

 
Loaded up the 'truck'

 
discovered the Royal Nova Scotia Yacht Squadon
 
 
which is rather cute!
 
 
Took a look at the bay

 
 
 
found the boat ...
 
 
Realised that we had suffered a bit of damage to the keel during the transport

 
but luckily ... we had packed  a lot of 'nail varnish ' and Ray was able to get the repairs done


                 Today will get the boat back in one piece and into the water

                                      and since it is Wednesday night

                                               we are going sailing........

    1. Hi Angie,
      The weather is warm, then cold, then warm.. a bit like Melbourne! Racing begins on Saturday , with the North American Championships. there are 14 other scuds racing. There will be racing on three days, finishing Monday and then a few rest days to recoup before the worlds. All is going well with Pete.
