Roaring 40's Off Shore Racing

Stunning day, heavy frost initially.  
Mid morning we headed down to the bay for the boat racing.....this used to be a regular event, but hasn't been held since 2010.  Got ourselves a good vantage spot and enjoyed the event.  

A few more, and some birds too.....I was quite pleased with my gull shots before the racing started.  Once underway they kinda disappeared.

My blip is the winner (by a country mile).  For those blokes (or blokessses) that may be interested some of the statistics are
.....34 feet length
.....525 Mercruisers x2
....Top speed 120 mph or 200kph (and very noisy)
....HP 1050

Rugby viewing time now.
