Tin boat race

A rainy day in Iluka was enlivened by a colourful spectacle. A club of dotty enthusiasts racing boats built of corrugated iron and cast-off sails.

Run down the beach and they're off!

The winner is the first to hug the tree!

From Iluka a long days sail to Tweed Heads, where we crossed the bar in style, surfing on a wave at 18 knots, trying to look as if we were under control. Yeehar!
