Bermuda Round the Island Seagull Race report:

"RACE REPORT –

After having to move to the rain date because of weather, and then change the course to avoid the America’s Cup boats – the weather was fantastic. Apparently South Shore was sloppy – but – North Shore was much nicer!!!!

Notable stories –

a) Murica went out to do a test run (not on the day) – apparently they hit a wave – crew went up in the air – and came down rather hard – making a hole in the boat ….. so apparently the wood panel repairing it – has a mark named “Dean’s arse”!!!!

b) Corry decided to “soup” up his fuel by adding octane to it – obviously old motors are allergic to this – as despite having an engine spare – both engines went – “we no likey – we stop now….”! So – he earned the first to break down trophy – followed in a close second of Harold & Claire Conyers…. So sorry….

c) I have been advised by Round Robin – Sam Spencer Wood that No Stress Express displayed true seagull comraderie – RR had lost half of their engine to the sea – and despite diving for the parts – it looked like a lost cause – and “crash boat please” situation!! No Stress “happened” to be carrying a spare engine – so – they stopped and lent requisite parts to RR – and then – they continued the route back together – I myself as I was leaving – saw the 2 boats arrive. Well done!!!

d) Kim Dismont Robinson (her first race) said that she managed to make it – despite a throttle issue – by using her headphone lines to try the throttle in place – she sent me a photo to prove it!!!! Very intuitive use…..

e) The Best dressed captain and crew prize had some challenges this year – it ended up going to the Gombey colours of Farrow/Smith team, but Popeye and Olive Oil (Chris Hands and Meghan Diel) were giving them a run for their money – and also – the Classy Seamen – Aaron Fenn and Geoffrey Blee have got to be complimented on their “classy” appearance each year…… makes the race look very elegant – I must say.

And there were lots of other funnies – but am sure that the stories will get passed around!! I am limited to what I see or get told about.

I am sure that we have been covered by local coverage – I will look at Bernews – and Island Stats – I saw several cameras around – but don’t know who they were.

I have not got exact monies totally – but – would like to think that we are making profits of at least $6,000 – will confirm later – but – it is being donated to the Bermuda Sloop. Well done all of you – this is a great result.

This is me signing off for another year. Venue next year is Spanish Point Boat Club and the date is June 3rd 2016 with the rain date Jun 10th. I saw a few Oracle guys and the Soft Bank Japan guys from AC at the boat club last eve– and the rumour is that they are going to design a boat to run next year – so ……wait and see - is the game…"

I like your seagull top Charles! Congrats indeed...

[Charles uk]

Thanks for that Hugo, but don't tell H-A it was the same motor that followed him around Hayling Island in 2011 or he will be extracting the urine from me, alongside most of the Bermudians!

A real good time, mainly due to their faultless hospitality!

[Hugz]

You must be getting lots of pm's of accolades as they are not coming up here

You have been mentioned on the facebook gull site a few times...
