Just wondering if any other Tassie sailors are competing in the Pipe Opener series starting Friday after next dssinc.org.au/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/Pipe-Opener-NOR.pdf

It is a big weekend for us as we will sail the boat from Port Huon to Hobart (40 nm) on Friday for a 7pm start of the Pipe Opener, a 25 nm night race back down the Channel and then the fleet motor back to Port Huon arriving in the early hours of Saturday morning

We then grab a few hours sleep before the start of the Cock of the Huon Race which is a race around the marks at Port Huon starting at 1.30 in the afternoon which takes a couple of hours and then there is a dinner and presentation at the Kermandie Hotel on Saturday night

Following this starting at 10 am on Sunday is a 15 nm race morning back down the river towards Hobart

It is a big weekend and the weather down here is still pretty cold with snow falling the last couple of days down to 300 meters and the day time temp being around 10 degrees and nightime being around 0 degrees so it will be a bit of a battle to leave the fire place and get on the boat for the start of the racing season
