Port Geographe Race Week

On the 23rd Feb I went down to Bussleton, 3 hours south of Perth to help (or hinder) on a yacht called Whispering Jack sailing in the race week. I was there for the weekend only but was a great experience sailing in a proper race. The sat was 2 short course races and the sunday was the longer legs. We slept on the boat in the marina, the breeze racing through the masts of the regatta and flags fluttering were a great way to get to sleep.


No sea sickness fortunately, but there was a close shave with another boat that resulted in our railings being torn off and nearly being hit by their boom - nothing to do with me thankfully! A few pics below:
