Bridge opening
Five boats headed up river into town to attend the grand opening of the Peace bridge.
Anthony G/Todd S, David T/Joy W, Kevin T, Anthony H/Harry H, Bill J/Owen H
Conditions were very difficult. SSW wind F4 gusting 6. Everyone except David and Joy went for an unscheduled swim. Special mention for kevin Tuffy who had a very difficult time in the single handed Laser.
We got to the Bridge in time and stood off about 50m while the official proceeedings were underway. After the grand opening we sailed in company with the Colomcille boat and a host of other small craft before returning home in an exciting downwind blast.
Thanks to Ken L and FSR for the rescue cover.
