Glenelg SLSC have an African roots/reggae band from 3.00 - 6.00pm.... ideal venue for recovery!
Conditions looked good until the sea breeze kicked giving no runners, just sloppy side chop. The eventual winner was Nat Gohl, 14' Fanatic, 2nd: Mark Temple, 14' Lahui Kai & 3rd was Matt Stringer, a huge effort on a 12' Naish.
Liz Guilhaus on a 12'6" took line honors for the ladies

Awesome event Sunday, just wondering if dates have been set for the next 3 races in the series?
