Photos from the run around Flinders



The grounded boats have finally arrived at Lady Barron! Rob McLelland reported that Premium Constructions had been on the rocks for "hours" (since about 5am) and they had tried flying a kite from the back of the boat and throwing anchors over the side to get off. Elphinstone also appears to have come unstuck while a swimmer has been down to inspect Pisces' keel after its encounter with Shag Rock yesterday. Crew-member Jim Nixon blamed the tangle on a "brain explosion'". Luckily the keel has only suffered some minor cosmetic damage, but the race committee is deciding on a suitable time penalty for the outside help the monohull received. The two others may also receive a time penalty for having their runners assisted to land on Flinders Island.
