Kicking goals.. In the water for a practise session


          
 .. and the story continues...

  Yesterday was thick fog all day at the yachts club; clear and sunny five minutes away .. Quirky Halifax..

                     Trimming and tuning the boat continued , with Rachael and Ray getting it all together ........


                                                      

                     fog blanketed the land all day , but it was still warm..

 
 
.. along the banks of the club...
 
 

                        Pete came down to supervise the site  for a while

 
 
                         and then today .. it was time on the water ..

 
 
fist Ray and Rachael went for a trial sail..
 

 
 and you can check out the real estate too...
 
 
 
the spinnaker strikes a pose,
 
 
as they head to the sail area..


                                 It was time to get Pete back in a boat!




                           so as they disappeared from sight

 
We headed around the bay to watch their progress,
 

                              .....it was pretty easy to take.

 
there were picture postcard fishing ports




                              all manner of nautically nice pieces

 
We met Stan of Pirate cove..  and an invite to come back for a rum!
 
 
 
relaxed awhile


                              Yve even took in a flower or two..

 
and then it was back to boats.....

 
Tomorrow is  registration Day for the North American Championships
 
the first regatta of the two Pete and Rachael are registered to compete.
 
there are 14 scuds competing .. Let us see how we go!
