This was the second day of Hobie Cat Races and Southern Star 1 (Andy and Kurt) and Southern Star 2 (Mark & Michael) looked forward to doing well but unfortunately, we were matched up against formidable competition and both of us lost our races. The other heats further narrowed the field for the planned finale on Thursday.
Following the Hobie Cats there were a series of “Olympic Games” on the beach including a coconut log toss and tug-of-war. Southern Star elected to limit our participation to cheering and watching.
After lunch there was a golf tournament on the 9 hole course using the “best ball” rule where each player hits from the best of the 4 balls. Mark and I teamed up with Jim and Wendy from Liahona and at the end of the day we were tied for first place at even par. Like any golf game, there were some great shots and some lost balls but we all had fun and ending up tied for first made it even better.
At tonight’s barbecue we received a nice shirt for our golfing performance after which there was a competition where women spoke for 3 minutes on the topic of “Why I hate sailing”. The prize was a bottle of Moet Chandon Champagne so the speeches were enthusiastic and quite funny. There was also a children’s category, which was even funnier.
