Jan, Neil and I were joined by Martin on New Years day for the Haven Ports Yacht Club Ice Bucket race. A total of 9 yachts turned out to compete. Our start at 1100 was a little before low water and Pete, our race officer had warned the fleet (at least twice) that there were very shallow areas in the river. This unfortunately didnt stop some of the fleet grounding, we were fortunate enough to avoid any such issues.
The race took us into and out of the River Stour before bouncing back n forth across the club line a couple of times and finishing. After 1.5 hours of racing we managed to place 3rd (again) on corrected time.
