Despite the weather cancelling our planned aquatic activities and BBQ, the Christmas dinner at the clubhouse was fully booked out. A superb meal was created by Peter Kennett and his team and was thoroughly enjoyed by all. Thanks to Barry & Nicky for manning the bar and for Ann & Pete who decorated the Christmas trees and laid the tables.
Santa Claus made an appearance and Pippity Pop the balloon lady fashioned some amazing creations.  Some photos taken by Pete can be viewed HERE

The OYC Waikouaiti Bay Race was held on Sunday 8 November. The predicted forecast was correct with a southerly gusting around 25 knots producing a lumpy sea. There was a great turnout of 8 yachts on the course. It was a pleasant enough journey down to the turning mark but a long tacking spray tossed journey back to the finish line at Carey’s Bay. Line honours go to Jamie Todd & crew in ‘Maraquita’. Some photos are recorded  HERE  through the lenses of Pete, Dianne & Ann. All the results can be viewed Official Results Waikouaiti Race Nov 2020
