Boskop Open GP 3 – Gibbons again

For those of you that dont know Boskop Yacht Club, if you ever get a chance to sail there make the effort. The water is clean,the surroundings great and the hospitality excellent. The Dam and club is located between Carletonville and Potchefstroom and is an easy drive from JHB. We camped under some shady trees and were made to feel very comfy.

The Dabchick turnout was not good as many could not make it for various reasons. Tim Gibbons, as he did last year, placed his stamp on this event. he was challenged by Gareth Baxter , who  managed to win a race.However the best Gareth could do was keep up to Tim for most the regatta.Warren keeps on showing improvement and at times tangled with the front runners. James only managed to get there on Sunday, but seemed to be going well.

The winds on Saturday were light but came through nicely on Sunday morning. Overnight we experienced  a huge thunderstorm which took out the electricity and our intentions of watching England take out France in the RWC. Anyway, we were rewarded by the Bokke on Sunday.
